We meet monthly to discuss the book or books of the month. As the name suggests, the meetings will be around the Fitzroy - Collingwood area, somewhere we can enjoy a beer, wine or coffee too! No limits on genre, if the book is good we'll give it a go. We have a pretty good mix of people so usually lots of interesting discussion and opinions but nothing too serious. You can always get a few recommendations for a new book or two! A book club is a great way to meet new people if you are new in …

****PLEASE NOTE****** I am currently not admitting new members as we are full.

Hey there, Welcome to Possibly the Best Book Club You'll Ever Join*. Sanna and I are both in our twenties, relatively new to Melbourne, and love books. We also both happen to love cats, seafood and potatoes. We met at a bookclub last year and bonded over the thought that we could do it better. This is the end result of that fateful meeting. We'll be reading primarily fiction (unless some unputdownable non-fiction crops up) and we'll be meeting once a month at the Rail Hotel in Windsor. It's got …

If you enjoy reading and live in the Eastern Suburbs then this maybe the group for you.  We have a lunch time bookclub meetup the first Sunday of the Month at a cafe in the Eastern Suburbs.  We try to find new places to go and try to move around so that all members have a chance to have one not too far away from their suburb.  We also organise social get togethers sometimes.  Happy to welcome new members..Sharon

I am wanting to start a book group in my area. I love reading books and it would be great to discuss these with other 20 somethings

Hi All, Since I could not locate any book clubs in the south eastern area around Narre Warren, I thought I should set one up. I am not too fussed about the exact suburb. There will hopefully be sufficient people who want to catch up on anything reading.

The Existentialist Society is for those who question whether life has a meaning and a purpose.

The Existentialist Society is for those who are fascinated by the ideas of Simone de Beauvoir, Nicholas Berdyaev, Martin Buber, Rudolph Bultmann, Albert Camus, Fyodor Dostoye …

Are you into reading? Do you like bubbles either Australian sparkling or the French version?

If you've read the Seth books by Jane Roberts and would like to discuss them with other Melbourne readers, how about we have an occasional coffee, somewhere central? Not sure when and how often?

If you are interested in reading, are single and would like to meet new interesting people who are just like you, then this is for you!!! This meeting up group stems from the fact that there are many meetup groups for book discussions and many more for singles, but not any for singles with an interest or passion in reading and books. I believe that reading offers an insight that cannot be gained just through our first-hand experiences in life. It inevitably provides us new perspectives on the wo …
