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 …

From Fiction to Non-Fiction, Mystery to Romance and everything in-between, it's hard t …

This group was formed after someone asked me "How do you stay motivated?" My answer was knowledge and sharing. If you are sharing with people, you learn ideas. If you learn something, you are excited to share. The question then became, what to learn? You should join this group if you want to increase your business acumen & vocabulary, share business ideas, or just miss learning. This group is FREE to attend, nothing is sold by the creators of the group, and is not intended as a "Get Rich Quick o …

As a Bob Proctor LifeSuccess Consultant, I am conducting MasterMind Study Group on "Think and Grow Rich", a masterpiece book by Napoleon Hill. Reading this book alone is very rewarding process. But to study the book in conjunction with a study guide prepared by Bob Proctor (someone who has been reading the book for nearly 50 years and is currently one of the highest paid coaches in the world) is quite another. The book is every bit as valid today as it was 75 years ago. The comprehensive pro …

This is a group for adults missing the books that were assigned in school. For those that miss the discussion in English classes about what the meanings of the book were and the chance to hear what others thought. But also, this is for those that want to enjoy the books of children's lit., where the good are good and the bad are bad. Where there is a moral and a lesson to be found in the book.

"Nerds. Once a tortured subrace of humans condemned to hiding in dark corners from the brutal hand of social torment... now, captains of industry!" - Chris Hardwick This is a book club for those of you who are interested in the kind of books that explore all of the great themes of science fiction, fantasy and horror -- like what, exactly, happens to the bourgeoisie in a zombie apocalypse (hint: they taste just like everyone else). We'll read everything from your bog standard literary novel to gr …

Orange County Science Readers is a book club for people who enjoy learning about the physical and social world through published science. The book club does not assume that readers have any prior experience with a given scientific subject; the only assumption is that readers genuinely find the topic interesting and that readers enjoy exploring their curiosities with others. While some (many) topics may warrant critical discussion, the primary purpose of this group is to have fun and to encourage …

Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection.  It means never having to play it cool about how much you like something.  It's basically a license to proudly emote on a somewhat childish level rather than behave like a supposed adult.  Being a geek is extremely liberating. - Simon Pegg We are a group of gay geeks who get together play video games, go to movies, out to dinner, and talk comic books, TV shows, etc.   Our purpose is ta …

This group started out as a Zecharia Sitchin Book Club, but due to the broad genres in our meetings, we've expanded on the name. The goal is to provide a safe place where normal and perhaps not so normal every day people like you and me, can get together and openly discuss, ask questions, ponder, and study the strange oppressed information out there without being judged. Here we can steer each other towards new information and perhaps address misinformation if we can, and read or study materia …

Armed with both knowledge derived from teachers from The Secret, as well as other resources, we believe we can offer a great study group setting for members. Before joining, please be advised, you must be willing to commit to truly participating in the group. We would prefer having a small but active group rather than a large but non-participating group. The more active members the more accountability we have with one another. Because of this, we do not automatically accept members, nor do we a …
