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 …

Want to discuss great books with like minded friends? This group was started because there's nothing better than sharing a great book!

The West Hollywood Women's Book Club was founded in order to offer women a way to connect with other women. Our primary focus is connecting women who work, rest, or play in the City of West Hollywood. Our overarching mission is to transform our great city into a community one woman at a time. All women are welcome.

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? You should join this group if you want to increase your business acumen & vocabulary, share business ideas, or just miss learning. 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 …

This group has primarily selected culinary or gourmet mystery series. Check out this lis …

If you'd like to make a commitment to reading more AND you've been dying to try out some of the fabulous bars, restaurants and cute little coffee shops and tea rooms LA has to offer, this is the book club for you! I'm planning on alternating between American classics one month, to modern literature the next to keep a good balance. This book club IS a democracy though, so all suggestions are welcome and will be voted upon!

This is a group for anyone interested in developing themselves, the go-getters in life and those just looking to meet up with a group of positive people looking to make changes in their life. I started this book club because i want to meet other introspective people looking to become the greatest version of themselves without pomp nor pretense, just real. People who are interested in reading positive books and discussing what they've learned and applied from their experience.

Well I think the group name does most of the describing, but the goal here is for people relatively the same age, to pick great books, meet up once a month and discuss them. I want to create a casual and fun atmosphere so that like-minded people can get together, meet people out of their circles, and have the intellectual stimulation that's void from so many of the encounters I've had with people out here in LA. We'll pick from a range of books, and meet wherever the group decides. Ideally, we'd …

So many great books, so little time. You know it's good to expand your mind and imagination through reading, so let our group help! We'll meet and discuss wonderful reads on a monthly basis.

I started this group because I just moved to Claremont and there were not many book clubs in this area. We welcome ladies from Claremont, La Verne, Upland, Pomona, Montc …
