My book club split over a 647-page biography we couldn't finish

Last month our group in Portland picked a biography of Eleanor Roosevelt for the monthly pick, and by week 3 only 4 of 11 people had made it past page 200. The debate got heated because some wanted to ditch it for a shorter book mid-month while others said quitting was lazy. I'm leaning toward a rule that any book over 500 pages needs a two-thirds vote to even get on the list. Has anyone else had a club implode over length like this, or do you just accept the drop-off?
