If you're reading this, it's because you're interested in the Great Books, also known as "the classics". Awesome! There is a misconception that the Great Books were written for specialists in philosophy or Ivy League scholars. This is simply not true. For centuries, they instructed everyone, including children. This group is dedicated to continuing that tradition, and was formed with the idea that everyone can read, interpret, and discuss the Great Books. They cover a wide variety of su …
We will gather monthly in a public place to discuss a specific book. It is not necessary to have completed the book to take part in discussions but its helpful to have read enough to form some opinions about it. I hope we will choose a wide variety of books to read and discuss. It would be better if group books are available in paperback and/or through the public library.

The "East Orlando Twenty-Something Book Club" is for women and men in their twenties who would like to participate in a book club on the East side of Orlando. Why the twenties? Simply because I'm somewhat new to the area and looking to meet people around my age. Also because the "East Orlando Book Club" group name was already taken, hehe! I decided to found this Meetup group because I was finding it difficult to get involved in a few book clubs that are already established in Orlando. During "Ea …
Have you ever wondered if God exists? Have you ever wonder if there is life after death? Have you ever wonder if stories of miracles are true or just wives tales? Have you ever wondered how your beliefs were shaped by what your parents taught you? Then this book club is for you! I grew up in a Christian home where my parents told me to believe in God. A series of tragic life events left me questioning if He was out there. Recently I wanted to settle that question on more objective reasons t …
Are you unafraid to voice your opinions? Do you struggle to find like-minded passionate women who can hold intelligent conversations? Do you want to read about and discuss gutsy women, relationships and current events? If so, the Bitches Book Club is for you. This book club is not an excuse just to get together and drink wine, although alcohol will definitely be present. This book club is meant to build friendships, challenge ideas and avoid surface-level conversations. Our first book will be "W …
Do you love to read books? Do you love to connect with other book lovers and talk about the books? We will read a wide variety of books and meet about every 6 weeks.

I started this meetup because all the other book clubs that I've attended did not eat, and although I love to read, I am equally a lover of food! We will meet roughly about once a month to discuss a book over a budget friendly dinner. We will try to vote on which books to read, so that we get to read different genre and hopefully cover material that everyone likes. What could be better than reading and enjoying a book that you would never have pick for yourself? If you love to read and love to …
Leaving no page unturned, and no glass empty! A new twist on an old idea (a 'novel' concept, if you'll pardon the pun)...Book clubs and reading groups are great, but 'ABC Club' aims to shake those notions up just a bit. 'ABC Club' is for women only (sorry guys!) and meets at least once a month to hold a book discussion, and also to share in a yummy potluck gathering including appetizers (finger foods) and beverages (can be of the ‘adult’ variety, but doesn’t necessarily have to be). Books may b …
I want to create a group of readers to meet bi-weekly or monthly to discuss a book we all have choosen to read. I'm looking for a variety of participants, guys, gals, younger, older, middle age, etc. I believe a mixed group leads to a variety of opinions we all can learn from, even if we don't agree. The books will be a variety of fiction, best sellers and non-fiction. Once a critical mass of six or so people sign up, we'll start deciding on when and where to meet and what book to start off with …
This is a group for professionals interested in an informal and fun atmosphere where they can discuss their favorite leadership/business books. All specialists are welcome. I started this group because I am interested in meeting other "think tanks". Looking forward to exploring the innovative world of people and businesss with everybody.

Relish meeting other ponderers, thinkers, and arm-chair scholars? This is the group for you. The goal of this group is to meet and discuss short texts such as magazine articles, articles from academic journals, and book chapters. The idea is to take the best parts of a book club--having a group of people who've read the same text--and combine it with a sma …

The Book Lovers Club is the book club for the reader in you. Come meet others like yourself who have not forgotten, 'the more places you’ll go' when you read a great book!

It's time to take another look at some of those books we read (or pretended to read) in high school or college. If you went to high school in the 40s or 50s, you actually read books! Authors of fiction such as Dickens, Tolstoy, Camus, Kipling, and Elliott are some of the ones to re-consider. Then there's all that nonfiction, of course, especially the ones we were supposed to read in history, social studies, anthropology and philosophy classes. I've discovered that now, as a gray-haired grandma, …

Do you like to read and enjoy discussing books with others? Come join us at Helen Lehmann Library in the quaint, beautiful town of Montverde, FL. During the first meeting, we will discuss what types of books we would like to read and hopefully plan for the first three months of meetings.

This is a women's book club for fun, relatively fast reads, what is known as "Chick Lit" - our taste varies (check our meet up list). We also go to the movies to watch "Chick Flicks" usually based on a book but, sometimes just because we really want to watch it with the girls! We alternate among "official" chick lit (but not too fluffy so we have something to talk about!) and more "serious" books. You can see our past book list (on the files section) to see what we have read. You can also find …
This is a fun book group - not too serious! We all agree that we have read some wonderful books (some books we would never have picked up on our own)!! We enjoy the discussions.
The objective for this group is to discuss being yourself. Let's chat and let's decide what topics to discuss. We talk about hot topics, funny topics and serious topics. No Politics - No Religion. My point of view on those two topics is, the way you feel is right for you and no one else has a right to attack you for your beliefs. We have talked about insecurity, rejection, surviving against the odds, how to be a friend, the bucket list and many other topics. If you have a topic please fee …
Hi, I have assumed the new organizer role. Thanks, Sharon, for stepping in after Jamie had to leave quite unexpectedly. I am new to this, so bear with me.... Hope to see everyone at the next meeting, even if you haven't read the book. We have some great discussions. Bring ideas for books, as well as other cultural events that might be interesting to attend. Let's have fun! Take care, Gia
We are a motley group of people of various ages who discuss a wide variety of books. We welcome everyone to come and see if you would fit in. We DO talk about the book.. it's not just a social group. But you will wind up making friends who you may want to hang out with outside of book club :)

Enjoy Shakespeare in a whole new way, where everyone participates equally. Here’s how it works: at the appointed hour, we meet and greet each other, and take our seats in a circle. We don't choose parts. Instead, the first reader launches into the opening lines of the play. When the speaker changes in the script, the next reader takes over, and so on. The first time around the circle, you might be the king, the next time, an unnamed maiden! If a speech is long, the reader changes every 8 lines, …
