Welcome! This is a fun social co-ed book club for people of all ages (must be 18 years or older) who love reading. I used to read quite a bit when I was younger and in school but as I started working I found that my time was very limited and slowly stopped reading. I'd like to get back into reading at least one book a month. I would like to start this book club in the South Bay, specifically the San Jose area because this is where I live, so that as I read I can share my ideas and comments to ot …

Immanuel Lutheran Church in Los Altos hosts this book discussion group for the South Bay community. All are welcome to join us in discussions about thought-provoking books. We usually take a month or two to read a book, and then meet to discuss it. (We know how busy you are, so if you don't finish the book, please join us for the discussion anyway.) We are looking forward to meeting you and hearing what you have to say!

We originally formed out of an evening at Bookshop Santa Cruz for those interested in a book group. Bookshop Santa Cruz gives us 10% off our selection for mentioning "Ravenous Readers" at the cash register. We meet the first Thursday of every month to discuss our book selection from last time. We're open to new members who are willing to come to meetings, bring their ideas for our next book choice, and discuss the book we've read. Come and meet others who are just as fascinating as you!

Good books and good food go hand in hand, I think! A not-taken-too-seriously sort of women's book group that also shuns your everyday "chicklit" - not because some aren't romping good reads but they don't exactly warrant full discussion. Meetings take place at a restaurant or establishment so we can all try new places. Also, if you don't quite get around to finishing the book (or reading it for that matter...no worries!).  Just feel free to come to the meetings and socialize too.  Quarterly, we …

If you live nearby, want to read one book/month and then meet a fabulous, diverse group of smart, funny women to drink coffee/tea/whatever to chat about our book, this might be the group for you. Please: no spouses, no kids, no "I didn't read the book, but I came anyway, pass the bean dip." If your plans change after you've rsvp'd yes, please change your status to "not going."

So maybe it's OK if we don't always have time to finish the book... This group is for Moms and expectant Moms in Silicon Valley who want to grow their social circles. I work at Google, and after having our baby my husband and I moved to Palo Alto after a year in London and many years in San Francisco. I'm looking to develop a social circle down South, and I'm guessing there are many other people like me out there! In this book club, we choose a book and a thematically appropriate cuisine (e.g., …
