Bible reading in church

In the near future I'll be leading the teens in a series of discussions on books in the Bible that can be read in under 5 minutes.

It got me wondering... Could a similar thing happen effectively in church?

Could you take 5 minutes during a church service to read a shot book of the Bible? Would a discussion on the book work in a church setting? Could that even go in place of the sermon?

I wonder how well this would go over. Would people complain that you gave them the opportunity to take time out and read the Word of God?

Also, could this work in a church context where the literacy rate isn't guaranteed to be high?
