A live, as opposed to on-line, book discussion group that reads speculative fiction like Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery, Graphic Novels and more! As this group grow I hope to include Movie, TV, and Game nights and possibly trips to events like Balticon or even New York Comic Con. I want this to be a content rich envirionment and I plan on starting some related topics on the discussion boards. If anyone would like to help with organizing or adding content, message me!      

If you read a lot of contemporary fiction and nonfiction that is well-reviewed by respected critics, then this book club is for you! For simplicity's sake, we will be choosing our titles from the New York Times notable books list from the past 2-3 years. Each month, we choose one fiction and one nonfiction title. The book club will meet on the first Wednesday to discuss the fiction title and on the third Wednesday to discuss the nonfiction title. You can choose to read one or both of the books, …

This Meetup group is devoted to people who simply love books and enjoy discussing them. We come together monthly with other book lovers to discuss a pre-selected book but we include time for an open format when you can discuss any book you are currently reading and would like to tell the group about it. Any book is fair game, we just want to know what you like about it and why.

Southern Montgomery County Words and Wine is social book club for women in their 30s and 40s. We typically have two events a month – a book discussion and a social event. Each month we meet at a member's home or at a local restaurant to discuss our book selection. We spend about 30 minutes talking about the book while enjoying great food and a bottle of wine. The rest of the time we get to know one another. Members are encouraged to bring their book suggestions, because we like to read a variet …

Escape Reality is a place where friends can come together for lively and meaningful discussion about books of all kinds while enjoying some good food, good wine, and great company! Meetings are two Sundays of each month at 5:00 pm. Members will be able to take turns suggesting readings. We believe that variety is the spice of life and that everyone should have a chance to break out of their comfort zones so we don't limit what we read to any particular genre or type of novel, we want to get a li …

  This is just not another tiresome meetup book club that follows some predictable path well trod by about a million other meetup groups. First, we aim to energize your reading life by presenting a rich menu of unexpected offerings rather than a boring genre-specific diet. We will read delightful fables, profound novels about every aspect of the human condition, comedies, plays, thoughtful (but accessible) works of philosophy, as well as a variety of serious political, social and cultural med …

The Ladies of Leisure Book Club is for women who love to read and socialize. We will meet once a month (sometimes once every two months) to socialize, have fun, and enjoy a meal while discussing the book of the month. To mix things up a bit, we will take in a movie from time to time and discuss instead of a book. I'm inviting you to join us if this sounds like a group you would enjoy being a part of.

Who should join: Women 20+. The only other requirement is an avid interest in books and a desire to meet like-minded women in a laid back environment.

Books will include popular fiction and non-fiction with a few classics thrown in the mix.  Please post your recommendations under the "Discussion" tab.  I find that s …

The purpose of this group is to discuss books that we find we can't put down after the first reading.  We'll discuss the elements of the story that we most connect with. Drinking warm, soothing tea such as jasmine, oolong, mint, constant comment, green leaves with orange peel, or peppermint will enhance your discussion of what we will read. How comfy is that?  This group will appeal to diverse women in their 40's or 50's who enjoy laughing and crying over a good read. If you feel as if you would …

Let's discuss good Christian Books. Anyone interested in having a nice discussion on Christian Books.

The Great Books Reading Group is not a literature club. It is a discussion group that uses a multidisciplinary approach to learning and exploring the past and present. We are reading from the St. John's College Reading List. As we read foundational texts in the Western tradition, we examine mysticism, history, theology, the earth and physical sciences, mathematics, philosophy and government, as well as art, literature and music.

Dessert time at local bookstore or coffee shop with book discussion monthly. Locations will vary with discussion leaders' choices.

Suggestions are welcome. *Please note schedule of reading may change with group requests.   June 2011: Discussing Plans for Meet Up Group …

This book club is dedicated to bringing women together and discussing the latest in African American literature. This book club meets once a month and focuses on discussing as well as coming together and building a strong bond that seems to be lacking in the Baltimore County community. We also focus on supporting local artists both in writing poetry and non-fiction.

After reading 'The Shack' by William P. Young, I began this quarterly reading club to challenge myself to read (opposed to pacifying my mind with computers, TV, and movies). I was in the library club in elementary school, and I lost the joy of reading leisurely. 'The Shack' renewed my interest!! Most books I've read can be read within a week for those who make reading a priority. With an abundance of obligations (i.e. church, work, school, [oh yeah... and self]), it takes me a little longer to c …

Looking for people passionate about reading Jodi Picoult books. Each month or every two weeks meet up and discuss novels, perhaps trading off among houses and bringing together good food and good thoughts. Please contact me about ideas or if you are interested. Looking to start perhaps in April. I think it will be a great idea to meet people too. I was thinking Sunday sometime would be a good time to meet. Novels...
