Each month the book club selects a graphic novel or trade paperback comic book collection and discusses it in depth. Meetings are held at Mission: Comics & Art

Born in the 80's? Like to read? Want to meet other people around your age who like to read too? Then this group is for you! We'll pick a different book each month to meet up and talk about! During the warmer months we'll get outside and meet at Capital Park (near the Rose Garden, off of 15th, between L & N) - during the cooler months we'll be meeting up @ Midtown Crepeville, Panera on Howe, and other places as they strike our collective fancy. This group is very laid back and all Meetup sugges …

Greetings. There is hardly anything I enjoy more than to read a good book and discuss it among thoughtful individuals! How about you? Please join if you are interested in being an active participant in a book club focused **exclusively** on classic literature, shown on the following lists below, that has stood the test of time. If not interested exclusively in classic lit, if not willing to stick to selections from the lists below, there will not be a match with this group.  The good news is tha …

Have you ever heard of Naked Girls Reading? It’s a group of ladies who enjoy giving readings of various works to a large audience au naturel. The group originated in Chicago two years ago when the founder’s husband caught his naked wife lying in repose focused intently on her book. At that moment, both agreed that there was something amazingly powerful about reading sans culottes. As a PhD literature grad student and a nudist, I have been doing this for years! And now, I think it’s the perfect t …

A book club for women of all ages in the Concord - Diablo Valley area. Sorry, Gentlemen, this is a book club for women only. We started out meeting every two months to discuss, socialize and pick the next book; however, due to the size of our club there are now more book discussions offered each month.  Join us and rediscover a love for reading, meet new women, and (hopefully) make new friends!

Crime and Punishment, Anna Karenina, A Tale of Two Cities......this group is for anyone who wants to re-visit classics such as these or explore them for the first time. This will be a casual book club and anyone with an interest in classic fiction is welcome! We will vote on our selection each month (except for the first). This group will not be a formal affair with prepared questions, etc. Instead, we will have a free-flowing discussion about the read over food and libations (if you so desire).

This group is for people who enjoy reading a book and then engaging in fun discussions about that book. It is also for those who are interested in being introduced to books they may not have read if not for the club. Although there are some great groups already established, after a long day of work I don't feel like driving over the GGB or fighting traffic heading North. Therefore this group will meet in Southern Marin-between Sausalito and Corte Madera. We currently meet in Mill Valley. We now …

New to San Francisco? Or just want to discuss great books with like minded friends? This group was started because there's nothing better than sharing a great book. Come to laugh, have fun and exchange stories over a glass or two! From the humble beginnings of a few avid readers meeting once a month in London in 2008, The Girly Book Club network now extends around the world and would be delighted to welcome you, wherever you are!

Show and Tell meets Book Club

Are you interested in a fun book club with other people your age? Please come join! I noticed that most of the book clubs out there in the east bay area tended to have more members over 30 and I have always wanted a club made up of fellow book lovers within my own age range. Any women/gay guys in the east bay area between 21-29 are more than welcome (You don't have to live in Walnut Creek to come hang out with us!) whether you are a college student, in your career, or a stay at home parent. The …

Meet kindred book lovers in a local Meetup Book Club!  We read classic fiction, current fiction, and nonfiction paperbacks, rotating through these genres each month in a three-month cycle.  Read a new book every month.  Come to discuss the book, share stories, and make new friends!

There are several Meetup book clubs in the East Bay, but many of them are specialized (e.g., women-only, we only read such-and-such books, etc.), or their meetings fill to capacity so fast that I never get a chance to rsvp - so I decided to start this one. I previously participated in a fantastic book club in Chicago, which gave me the opportunity to read some great books that I probably wouldn't have found on my own. I hope to continue that trend here! This is a mixed-gender book club for anyon …

Sistah 2 Sistah Girlfriends Book Club is the perfect place for women who enjoy reading books by African American Authors to share their experiences in a positive, informative environment.  Our monthly book discussions are held at various restaurants in the Brentwood/Oakley area.  We also have fun doing various social activities and volunteer work as a group. If you enjoy reading, networking, good conversation, girlfriend getaways, smooth jazz events, movies and helping out in the community, plea …

Ladies of the Book Club is perfect for queer, lesbian, bi-sexual, open-minded individuals who enjoy reading a variety of books and delving into provocative conversation about characters, plot, parallels to history and society, symbolism, and meaning. We will create a group of people who are excited about meeting monthly to build new friendships through insightful, creative, intellectual, and fun discussions.

We are a gathering of adult children's literature lovers. Bimonthly we get together to discuss a book. There are a wide variety of children's books that we will discuss, ranging from classics to those hot off the press. This is an open group; meaning all are welcome, there is no fee, and you are free to bring friends, suggest books, and lead discussions.

Join us for discussions of non-fiction titles!  Preference is for shorter books 350 pages or less, but all are welcome suggestions.

This get-together is for individuals looking for a place to re-center after a busy week, participate in a discussion about an inspirational book, and enjoy some good food. I reside in a rather cozy apartment with minimal furniture, so be prepared to sit on the floor! Instead of asking for donations, I thought it would be much more enjoyable if members arrived with a small dish (nothing fancy) or beverage (no alcohol, please). Book recommendations are welcomed with open arms. I look forward to me …

Back by popular demand... First, thanks for taking the first step in joining a special group of ladies who love to read, chat, over enjoy a glass of wine. I initially started this group two years ago because I am a book junkie who was looking to join a book club in the area and found none. After a year on Facebook, I decided it was time to take the group back were it all started. We read mostly contemporary lit, but do mix it up every so often with a classic. This is the book club for anyone who …

Hello All. I'm a long-time member of the group described in CQ Yarbro's "Messages From Michael" books. I'm offering to host a discussion group in the San Francisco area for those interested in the material presented in the Michael books.

What: A book club for avid romance novel readers. Meetups not exclusively limited to book discussions. My hope is to get to know new people and building some new friendships (most of my friends are in Europe or scattered across the country). Who: Any avid romance novel reader with an open mind and a sense of humor. Why: I haven't been able to find a book club geared towards romance novels (most exclude them), and especially not in the East Bay. I commute a lot during the week for work, so I woul …

The purpose of this group is to bring together people who are single, over 55, and would love to discuss their favorite, or even someone else's favorite book or movie.  On the way to doing this we could discuss the issues raised in the book/movie, become a community of friends and enjoy each other's company. Any single senior interested in meeting new friends and forming a loose knit community with whom to discuss books and movies should consider joining us. When we live alone, we can't turn to …

This is a group for San Francisco / Bay Area women looking to "reclaim the soul of friendship." We will start by gathering to discuss Shasta Nelson's book, Friendships Don't Just Happen: The Guide to Creating a Meaningful Circle of Girlfriends and then move on to other friendship & women empowerment related books (e.g. MWF Seeking BFF; Madly In Love with Me, etc.). Along the way, we'll also meet for tea, share meals, watch movies, attend cooking classes, go for walks, and do other fun activities …

Poetry, short stories, plays, novels, history, philosophy, science, not necessarily in that order, classics that are worthy of discussion, current and past, western and non-western, these are the works we discuss. The discussion is what is most important. We discuss these works to enlarge our understanding of the ideas that shape our culture and gain a deeper appreciation for what it means to be human.

Do you like reading books that will further your personal or professional development? Do you like meeting new people and having a casual discussion over common interests? This is a group for anyone interested in reading books like Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In, Reid Hoffman's Startup of You, or Jim Collins' Good to Great; then getting together, discussing, and selecting the next book. While I've always done this on my own, I feel like it could really enhance the experience to do it with others. Whe …

I've been devouring some really interesting books recently and would love to talk with people about them. Hoping to create a group of people that meets regularly, engages in critical thought and opens up our exposure so that we get people from different viewpoints, or maybe even read contrasting authors at the same time.

So this year we are celebrating 60 years with 007. Sure, Skyfall is a great movie, but what about the books? We'll be reading Ian Fleming's books starting with Casino Royale. Sure we'll talk about the movies: George Lazenby et al but it'll be fun to actually read the original intents. The locales of these books run the gamut from Las Vegas to London to Istanbul to Jamaica to Mahe Island. Hopefully we can find bars/restaurants that correspond to the locales and rap.
