Are you an avid reader who'd like to get together with other women regularly to discuss books over some fine wine? The aim of this group is to expand our thoughts and perceptions through great discussions about books. We all bring our own experiences, culture, and filters into the perception and understanding of literature, and hopefully these discussions will all enrich us. We'll choose serious fictional and non-fictional books that are fairly recent releases (within the last 20 years for the m …
There are a few other book clubs out there, but not many in the NW corner of the city. I struggled to find one that was just for women and had spots available at their upcoming events. So, I started my own group. I'm also hoping to expand beyond the monthly book discussions. It would be great to meet other women that are interested in dinners, wine tasting, etc. in the city or in the surrounding suburbs. I'm in my mid-30's so I titled the group 30s (ish). If you're age is above or below that …
What better way to start 2012 than to read books set in Chicago! We meet up locally – surrounding Woodridge, Downers Grove, Lisle, Bolingbrook, Naperville, Darien, Lemont area – for the book discussion. Whether it be a café, lounge...what a way to spend a few hours for a book discussion, build friendships, and consume a bite to eat and a drink as well! So join us! :)

These are the voyages of the Western Suburban Science-Fiction Book Club...
Our continuing mission: to seek out the most compelling, discussion-provokin
g science-fiction (and occasionally, fantasy) and gather together to chat about them over dinner. It's a pretty good mission.
Reading sci-fi suggests certain nerdish... leanings, but don't be afraid: our group is all-inclusive. Yes, I'm sure a few of us qualify as geeks, but we're all socially well-adjusted and reasonably freshly showered too. Our …

I love to read and would love to belong to a book club. I live in Hyde Park and would like to form a group with people that live in the same general area. We could get together once a month (or every other month) to discuss a chosen book and enjoy each other's company. I'm in my 50's, but it would be great to have members of various ages join the club.

This is not a 'chick-lit' only group. We read a variety …
