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 …

This group was formed after someone asked me "How do you stay motivated?" My answer was knowledge and sharing. If you are sharing with people, you learn ideas. If you learn something, you are excited to share. The question then became, what to learn?

This group is FREE to attend, nothing is sold by the creators of the group, and is not intended as a "Get Rich Quick o …

The idea of this group is to establish a community of writers that can learn from eachother on many different levels.  Whether this is through critique groups, free writing, reading, talking, etc. I hope that this group has something for everyone. This group welcomes writers of all levels.  This is based on the philosophy that we never really stop learning.  No matter your walk of life, we all have some knowledge to barter. Or pilfer, as book bandits do (no stealing or plagerism is insinuated wi …

The book club does not assume that readers have any prior experience with a given scientific subject; the only assumption is that readers genuinely find the topic interesting and that readers enjoy exploring their curiosities with others. While some (many) topics may warrant critical discussion, the primary purpose of this group is to have fun and to encourage …

Here we can steer each other towards new information and perhaps address misinformation if we can, and read or study materia …
