We are a group that is founded on the belief that books should be read for entertainment. We want to read and discuss upbeat, fantastic, quirky enjoyable books - not the latest downer tome handed down from Oprah. If you want to read funny, imaginative, quotable books and then rave about how they split your sides, fired you up, or give you weird dreams then this club is for you! Even if the books we end up reading aren't as fun and interesting as we hope - it's better to complain together over dr …
This is a group for meeting to discuss books, preferably in small groups. Anyone can set up an event by choosing the book, a location, and the size they want their group to be. It can be any size but it must be designated it at the start. That way, someone who wants a small group doesn't sign up for a book then end up in a room with 25 other people. The possibilities are endless - a light hearted discussion of a novel with a glass of wine, a serious discussion of a classic over pizza, a dis …
We are a group of book lovers that meet once a month to discuss.....books. We like to read books from all genres, though usually fiction, we have thrown in a non-fiction a time or two. During the monthly meetups, we choose the next book. Actually, we tend to stay 2 months in advance so everyone has a chance to get the book from the library if they want. How we choose books is a little different too. We don't really discuss the book before reading it. Someone at the meeting suggests a book they w …

Have you ever walked into Barnes & Noble and wanted to buy a book because it had a cool, interesting or pretty cover? Don't get me wrong, the book has to be interesting too, but I bet most of us have a stack of books at home with lovely covers and now we need some motivation to read them. This is the kind of book club where the discussion only gets rigorous if there was something interesting/relatable/discussable in the book. We don't have a list of questions to read from (although you are more …

This group is open to anyone interested in reading and discussing books that relate to feminism in some way – whether they are exploring the intersection of feminism and pop-culture (Bitch magazine-style), novels with feminist characters or themes, classics of the genre, or any book that lends itself to a good discussion from a feminist point of view.

Once a month we'll meet to discuss the current book selection, as well as select the book for the next month's reading. Everyone will get a chance to offer up their …
As most people know, people with English degrees* (writing, literature, undergrad, grad, even English minors), rarely are employed in our chosen field of awesome words and sentences. This creates some serious English-class withdraw, leading to awkward social situations when we reference obscure or archaic works of literature or theory, or try to analyze something to an absurd degree. "People with English Degrees, Reading Books" is an attempt to remedy this by providing an outlet for the English …
Every month we read the best book as chosen by our members. We then meet and discuss them.
