Hi Everyone! I started this meetup because there are so many books I want to read, and I think that discussing them with others will make it more fun, challenging, and fulfilling. My academic background is in Philosophy and Anthropology . . . but there is so much more to discover! This is a meetup for people who love learning and thinking about the world around them: sociology, history, philosophy, evolution, primatology, cognitive science, cultural studies, biographies, political science, curre …

I want to start a book club based more on the unusual and interesting urban paranormal books, as well as comics, some mystery, and anything different. No politics, biographies or Oprah book club books allowed. This is for fun and unusual books. I wanted to start this because I was tired of seeing all of the Oprah books, the romance books or the political book clubs. There are so many fun and interesting books out there why be limited to just one style? Reading is one of my favorite pastimes so …

We decided to combine two of our favorite activities--reading books and watching documentaries--to form a new fun book club for women in their mid 20s and 30s. Each month we will read a book and meet at a restaurant related to the setting of the book to discuss. Within the month, we will also watch a documentary related to some aspect of the book (e.g. culture, country, religion, etc.). We are excited to get this group started and to meet lots of fun new people!! A few ground rules for our gr …

This Book Club Meetup is open to everyone, that is interested in getting together and discussing books. The only thing that I ask as an organizer. If for you to be prepar …
If you want a book club where we pick a book, have an outlined discussion and only talk about the book, this is not it! Most BOOK clubs are of the "You must read this specific book to hang out with us" variety. Our club, on the other hand, uses whichever title we've picked as more of a jumping-off point and we end up discussing a whole slew of different books, authors, and genres. Sometimes, the subject just goes into an off the wall place. You never know what we end up talking about or doing. T …

Sick Minds is not your traditional/original book club. No romance novels, best sellers, Oprah's list or tear jerking books allowed. This book club will be reading bizarre and entertaining books that are also humorous and sometimes considered disturbing to the common folk. Death: A Life by George Pendle is one example. It is a humor book written in a memoir style about Death. One of my sons helped me name the group after I was trying to define a sick mind. He actually did something sick that I …

Are you an open minded, fun and cool woman? Are you looking for a good book discussion? Do you care about social activism? If so, we are the book club FOR YOU!

Like books? Like to talk about life, happiness, and the occasional paper-cut from books? (or bruised toe for you kindle and nook readers.) This is the group for you. We are a diverse group of race, age, and gender who have one come together for one common interest - books. Yet in exploring the stories or history together, we discover we have so much more in common as well. We don't follow one genre or one author but try to find new areas to branch into each month. We also don't break the stories …
This group was created to bring together individuals who read books for substance and ideas. This group is open to artists, musicians, scientists, engineers, and anyone who likes to examine and exchange ideas, respect others' opinions, and is open to learning something from others. We find we get together to discuss what might otherwise be serious topics, but we end up laughing a lot, because it's such a joy to express ourselves and share our ideas...and go off topic now and then. We currently h …

A book discussion group for members and friends of the GLBT community. Although the focus here is on reading and discussing books of specific interest to the community, we will read books from other genres, as well. We'll meet on the first Friday of every month to discuss our current selection and select a book for the following month. We'll also schedule occasional MeetUps at museums, concert venues, and restaurants. Whatever strikes our collective fancy.
Lovers of the mystical and metaphysical, and those mildly curious are welcome to join! There are various topics that fall under mystical and metaphysical interests. Together we can choose books that teach us about the spiritual and the magical in our world and beyond. The idea is to meet monthly to discuss a book, topic, or chapters of a book. We welcome even those who didn't read or didn't finish. Books are our springboard for information and conversation. Members of this book club are encourag …

I decided to start this group through Meetup to recruit people from the local area who are interested in reading and discussing good books. The purpose of the group is to meet once or twice each month for friendly, but lively conversations about books, (fiction and non-fiction,) plays, poems or otherwise that group members have recommend. We might even throw in a movie now and again. The group will be based in Redondo Beach but people from further away are welcome. The group is open to men and w …
This is a book club designed for women in their 20's and 30's, living in the South Orange County area. We get together on the 2nd Saturday of every month to discuss group selected books. Our meetings are usually held at a member's home and are potluck style. Newcomers are always welcome, so please join us and be Booked for Lunch!
… The model is to attend the meeting, meet like-minded people, get the book we are reading, discuss the previous book's topics, lessons, or tools. We all have lives so we read one book per two months. We meet once per month to discuss the topic. Any and all questions. Feel free to ask.
The Great Books Foundation promotes reading, thinking, and the sharing of ideas for people of all ages. Since 1947, the Foundation has helped millions of people make the reading and discussion of literature a lifelong source of enjoyment, personal growth, and social engagement.
I just started this group. I noticed that a lot of the other book clubs have waiting lists to attend a meeting, so I am starting a new one. We will read mysteries, memoirs, chick-lit, YA and crossover lit, literature a little bit of everything! I am a writer, teacher, and former creative writing major, so I have read a ton of books! Check out my blog here: http://ya100words.blogspot.com/ We will probably meet up at coffeeshops for our first meeting or scout out cute or different restaurants in t …
