The Beverly Hills Great Books Discussion Group, organized under the aegis of the world-recognized Great Books Organization founded by Mortimer Adler (www.GreatBooks.org), uniquely claims the distinction of the oldest functioning Great Books Discussion Group in the Nation - See our mention in A Great Idea at the Time by Alex Beam ('08). The Group meets, as it has for 51 years, on the 2nd and 4th Mondays, at the Beverly Hills Public Library (6-8PM), to engage in a spirited analytical discourse …
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 …

If one of the many things you miss from college are the class discussions of books that either moved you or that you thought were complete trash then this group is for you! This group is for people who have recently graduated or just people in their 20s or early 30s who would like to get together once or twice a month over drinks or coffee to discuss a book we all read together. First book recommendations are welcome and then we can decide the next book choices at the meetups. I thought this wou …

You’ve experienced the page turner. The book that’s so compelling it forces you to silence calls, stay up later than your early morning permits, and respond in a brusk and irritated tone to any and all commitments calling you away from the story. A story that’s so good, it makes you want to do something about it. Who’s up for a book club that’s one part reading, one part discussion, and one part action? Let’s read Bukowski one month and hold our discussion in the central library that Bukowski fr …

The Tasty Book Club pairs good books with good food. We read a variety of genres: silly books, smart books, memoirs, literary fiction and, yes, we even once read a book about werewolves. We pair the book with food or countries that appear in the book. If a book takes place in Greece, we eat Greek food. If we read a book that takes place in the American South, we go for BBQ. And so on. We aim for diversity among our book choices. Everyone is welcome to suggest books, but preference is given to b …

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 …
I'd like to start a book club for women in their 30s living in Camarillo/Newbury Park/Thousand Oaks-ish. I've seen a lot of book clubs in Ventura County on meetup, but I'm new to the area and would love to meet ladies close to my age and close by! Although I'm titling this club "30s" I am open to members in their late 20s and early 40s as well. My proposed plan--a group of 10 or under (we'll see how it goes), meeting once per month to discuss books. We'll start in a public place but then hopeful …

A book club is a great way to meet new people and share opinions. I have found book clubs to be both intellectually stimulating and emotionally supportive. This is my second meetup book club and this group will be run by the memebers. Anyone can suggest a meetup. If you have a book you would love to read/discuss then suggest a time and day for the meeting. Don't be shy, others will join you. I will try to help with the organizing end, but members will need to give me input on the meetups an …

Hi, ln our club we love discussing books and their film adaptations. After we've read the selected book, we get together to watch the movie on the big screen or on DVD), then we hang out and discuss both over dinner, tea, coffee or drinks. There are always plenty of opinions when a group has both read a book and watched the movie, and your (respectfully presented) opinion is welcome! The purpose of this club is not only to get motivated into reading, but also to build a strong friendship relatio …

I decided to start this group through Meetup to recruit people from the local area who are interested in reading and discussing good books. The purpose of the group is to meet once or twice each month for friendly, but lively conversations about books, (fiction and non-fiction,) plays, poems or otherwise that group members have recommend. We might even throw in a movie now and again. The group will be based in Redondo Beach but people from further away are welcome. The group is open to men and w …

We all could get caught in the cycle of everyday life and lose focus on our purpose. Whether you are tip-toeing or making giant leaps towards your dreams and/or goals, let’s get together and read about ways to stay focused and progressive. Hopefully, our discussions will encourage, motivate, and support one another on our journeys. Let’s move forward with o …
