This book club will cover great literary works such as Hemingway, Dickens, Shelley, Bronte, Milton, to more recent authors like...humm...let me think--okay---let's face it, English degree = reading lots of dead authors. But really, let's read everything worth reading. :) This group is aimed at mid-twenties to mid-thirties individuals who like to get together over drinks or a meal and have critical discussions about books.   Please read on to find out how we run our book club! Each Meet Up will r …

Having a focused book club is key to attracting like minded people, but who wants to be limited to a specific genre? When I read this month's issue of World Ark, the magazine put out by Heifer international, I knew I found my list. "Heifer International's mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth. By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, [they] empower them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self-reliance and hope. With gifts of lives …

I started Good food, fine wine and great books because all the other book clubs that I've attended did not eat! We meet roughly about once a month to discuss a book over dinner. I try to match the restaurant to the book. We discussed Middlesex over a Greek fare in the Village. We met at a Vegetarian restaurant to discuss a book in which the main character was a vegan. Each member takes turn and picks a book. So we get to read different genre. What could be better than reading and enjoying a book …

Have you ever felt overwhelmed when walking into a bookstore.........seeing all of the books (big books, skinny books, colorful books, etc) and not sure what you would like to pick up. You are not looking for another devotional book, but would like to be wrapped up in a story - a real read that will to nourish the soul with Christ and keep you engaged in hope, love, laughter, adventure, mystery, etc......through the end. Books bring much laughter and self-perspective. Meet book lovers and writer …

Meet kindred book lovers in the Rockland/Bergen County area. While we may occasionally read a modern classic (Lolita, Catch-22), we read mostly classic works written before 1950 (check our calendar to sample our book selection). We emphasize novels and plays important within the history of literature or have some historical interest. We have friendly, topical discussions about what we enjoyed, didn't enjoy, and found interesting in our reading while making some literate friends in the process. G …

The Manhattan Great Books Reading and Discussion Program is based on the idea that by reading from the great books of our civilization and discussing them with other people - sharing your insights and questions - you can reach a fuller understanding of these works than you could on your own. We meet in room 508 at the NY Society for Ethical Culture, 2 West 64th Street at Central Park West (entrance is on W. 64th Street) All are invited who look for a challenging yet satisfying discussion on some …

Emily Books brings people together online to write about our monthly book club picks, but a lot of us have never met. Let's change that! Once a month, we'll have a (verrrrrrry) informal book club meeting in a bar, where we'll talk about the book we're reading and whatever else.

SPIRITUAL PEOPLE FROM ALL BACKGROUNDS, COME JOIN US In our group... we read and seek to understand more fully the concepts portrayed in The Urantia Book (Urantia being another word for the Earth). The book is a collection of 196 papers that its authors say is a divine revelation to our planet. The revelators assert that they are non-physical beings, ranging from those divine in origin to those closer to the level of human beings, such as angels. How the papers came to be transmitted into writt …

The Breakdown: We read good books. We're looking for other intellectually curious, like-minded 20somethings (a vague guideline) in Astoria (another vague guideline) to read them with us, share some food, drink, and sweet convo. The Criteria For Choosing Said Good Books: Magical language (with a healthy dash of magical realism), fresh voices (love a debut) irreverent to painfully relevant, growing up, growing old, dying, coming back to life, urban culture to Southern idyllicy, savory books that y …

There are tons of book clubs, but I could not find a book club around Brooklyn that explored queer literature. Womp. As a lesbian, I would like to read books with characters and stories that I can empathize with, understand or at the least simply recognize. So I thought, fudge it, I will make my own group so I can explore queer lit. with my queer family. This Book Club will cover queer fiction and non-fiction. Some books will have clear queer main characters, while other books may be more subtle …

If you are looking for some new friendships and community with your new found free time, then why not come and share your love of people, books and community with women in a similar stage of life. At this group, we will meet to discuss books, issues that affect us and simply have a great time. This is the first meeting of the group and hopefully we can meet regularly (every two weeks or once a month) and share. Come, learn, and make new friends.        

The UX Book Club: NYC has been in existence since 2009. We meet about every six weeks to engage in in lively, in-depth discussions of books with the potential for making an impact on the way we think and work in our field. We’re also a social club, a salon-of-sorts interested in building community among like-minded folks hungry for ideas and good talk. We believe in the concept of sharing diverse perspectives as a way toward enhancing personal practice and promoting greater community understandi …
