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 …

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 …

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.

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! You'll read a different book every month, from a long ago lost "Classic" to the "It" book flying off the shelves (and everything in between). We are active in the community, making book donations to the local Libraries, giving money to charities. We also may have a meeting once a month between our traditional meetings just to catch …

We are a group of women who live in Pasadena/South Pasadena, love to read good literature (modern and classics) and enjoy making new friends. We meet each month at a different member's home for an evening of appetizers, socializing and book discussion.

Our Meetup group began in summer 2007, and while our members represent a diverse range of ages and backgrounds, we all share a passion for books. Most members are from the San Fernando or San Gabriel Valleys. We meet on the fourth Thursday of each month at a different member's home for an evening of socializing and book discussion. We currently have a few spaces open for new members. If you'd like to join our group, please submit a membership request.
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 …
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 …
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 know everyone says their book club is different, but this time we mean it! I want to be in a book club that doesn't read Oprah's book of the month. I have no interest in reading Chicken Soup for the Soul, Twilight, or Eat, Pray, Love . I want to read silly books, smart books, graphic novels, romance novels, classics, books made into movies (and visa versa), books about movie stars and rock idols. I want to do this with a group of like minded individuals who don't adhere to the formulas of con …

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 …
… 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.

Meet kindred book lovers in a local Christian Book Club! Fiction or non-fiction, biography, inspirational, Christian life, or historical, we'll select and read a new book every month. Come to laugh, share stories, grow in our Christian faith, and of course, make new friends! Meetings will be held at local independent coffehouses or in members' homes on the third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. Occasionally, local events will also be posted so that anyone interested may attend as a group. If an …

To join, please answer the profile questions, and be sure to have a profile photo uploaded. Thanks!

Thanks for considering joining my fun book club. I decided to join 2 things I love - cocktails and books! Each month we'll meet at a different bar, and discuss the book in a fun atmosphere. We will be going to a nice, upscale bars, as well as dive bars - I like to mix it up. We'll stay in the mid OC area: HB, NB, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Tustin. Every person is responsible for their own bar tab. The booklist will be contemporary fiction, with maybe some classics thrown in also. About me: I'm in my ea …

Are you looking for a “fun read” that engages the mind and provides entertainment? Cozy Mysteries are usually fast paced, easy reads, that are often in a themed series (e.g. The Coffee House Mysteries, The Tea Shop Mysteries, etc.). This group will meet once a month and discuss a monthly cozy mystery at a coffee shop, a tea house, a member's home, or any other location decided by the group to be appropriate to the book we are reading. Additionally, we'll sprinkle our Meetups with other outings o …
