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 …

Who loves a good read? This group is dedicated to those who flip right to People magazine's book reviews in the check out aisle at the grocery store. To the ones who give story lines a shot, even if it is labeled young adult fiction. The ones who don't care if the book is the next great American novel, or not. I'm creating this meetup based off of my love of books, plot lines, and social company. I am an equal opportunist when it comes to my books, and I hope that if you join, you will be too. T …

The Serious Jewish Book club has begun. Its general purpose is to read and discuss topics of Jewish interest with other thoughtful people. Its deeper purpose is to become more educated about a whole range of Jewish topics in the spirit of Socrates’ assertion that an unexamined life is not worth living. When we write “educated” we are not using this word to mean in its modern usage, trained or shaped. We rather hark back to its ancient etymology when it meant “to be led out of” as from the uncons …
