Very subtle difference. Both are correct. :)
"I've just started reading this book; it's really interesting!"
"I've just started to read this book, so can you be quiet please?"
"Reading" is better if the book itself is a topic.
"To read" is better if the action of reading is a topic, and the book is not important.
But really there is not much difference so don't worry too much about it. I think 'reading' is probably more common.

To me, "I've just started reading this book" sounds natural.
