The Cambridge Book Club is based in Cambridge MA and is unique in alternating fiction and non-fiction reads. Reading selections are based on member suggestions and final member vote. We've been going strong for 2 years and we look forward to reading together and discussing the books we read! All readers, all ages are welcome!

In an effort to create a new kind of book club, this group is dedicated to combining a few wonderful and creative elements: literature, libations, and community. It is my hope that this group can explore a variety of literary works from best sellers to classics as dictated by the group. If you are a 20-30 something, interested in meeting up to discuss books, have good conversation, and perhaps some excellent wine or beer this is the group for you!

“The Path of Purification” (Visuddhimagga) is regarded as the most detailed manual for meditators. It systematically summarizes and interprets the teaching of the Buddha and the meditation methods contained in the Pali Tipitaka. The manual comprises the Buddhist essential Threefold Training in discipline, meditation and wisdom. The teacher and meditation instructor of this study, Venerable Dhammadipa (Fa Yao), presently the abbot of Chuang Yen Monastery, has been ordained as a Buddhist monk sinc …

Hello and Welcome to the Red Line Book Club! (Formerly the Davis Square Book Club). "A book is like a garden carried in the pocket." This is a club where friendly interesting people meet to discuss the books we have all read together. If there is a general theme to the books we read, it's that we read "great" books: enduring classics and new books with lots of potential. You have the entire rest of the world with whom you can discuss Stieg Larsson; here we try to dig at least a little deeper. Fo …

Group of common interest folks who like to eat, drink, and discuss. I plan to go to great eating establishments, try some great wines, have book discussions, attend films, lectures, and other interesting things along the midcoast. I get my details about events from The Free Press, and flyers posted in the various locations... I mostly am available during the week so I miss alot of weekend things, but there are plenty of things to do in this area and going alone isn't always that fun, so...lookin …

We want members who are eclectic in the types of books they are want to read. So let me know if you are interested. Again, this book is open to all!

A book club for gay men who have always wanted to read Proust's multi-volume novel but were afraid to try on their own. This group is for you! We will meet bi-weekly on Wednesday evenings for 90-minute discussions and to share our insights into this complex work. We will read Proust in translation (rather than in French). Our goal is to make our way gradually through the novel. Experienced readers of Proust also welcome!

Hi there! I want to start a book club that focuses on non-fiction reads -- mostly what I tend to read are books about health and wellness, travel, animals, biographies, business, and in general, real things. I feel like I am alone out there, because every other book club I see is totally based on reading novels and other works of fiction. Unfortunately, it is rare for me to really enjoy a novel! I would love to see if other people in the area are interested in reading about the "real" stuff and …

This is a group for anyone who finds themselves writing and reading and wants to share their enthusiasm with others. I envision meet-ups where we share and provide constructive feedback on each other's work, perhaps have assignments where we write in a certain form or on a particular subject, and maybe even share our work with the general public on occasion. Other ideas include having a monthly first edition book club, going to see movies with a literary theme or texture to them, and going to au …

This is a group for all those who miss the pleasure of digging into a new book with the knowledge that on the other side of the cover they will have the opportunity for engaging conversation! Prepare yourself for some mid-brow chatter, snacks, and reading. We're aiming for one book a month, democratic voting selection, and wide array of subject matters probably heavily leaning towards fiction. Did I mention the snacks?

Comics are brilliant. They are also an overlooked and under-appreciated part of the literary establishment, so we're looking to redress the balance a little. This group will work pretty much like a traditional book club - we pick a new graphic novel or collection every month, read it and meet up for a discussion over coffee or a beer. We're going to try to find the literary corners of the graphic storytelling medium - I'm interested in how art style informs character perception; how panel layout …

Calling all Southern women living in Boston! Whether you are newly transplanted or well established, I'd love to form a group to enjoy social activities like: dining, movies, reading clubs, discussion, happy hours, exercise, Art & Culture and anything else that sounds like fun!

Do you want a place where you can discuss your deepest feelings about yourself and the society we live in, in a supportive atmosphere? Many times, the culture we live in frowns upon sharing emotions, problems, anything that's really on our minds. We're expected to put up a front of "Everything's okay" all the time. But this just creates social isolation. The more isolated we are from each other, the more chance depression and anxiety have to breed. I am starting this group because I am not satis …

Greetings! This group is for anyone interested in books that focus on black people, culture, history, politics, and empowerment in America and abroad. There are no blinders here. Let's pull the cover back, read, and come together to discuss the truth - whatever that may be.

A place for the few to find refuge for discussing/reading the greatest lost art.

Girls only monthly meetings to gossip about our favorite novels.  We'll aim for 1 book a month and plan to discuss over wine.

The purpose of this group is to read and discuss a range of different books. The other purpose is to cultivate friendships through the discussions and share a conglomeration of our individual knowledge on book topics. Most of the books will follow a current related to sustainability, the environment, nutrition (books like the Omnivores Dilemma), farming, and organic lifestyles. However I also have been reading a lot about Tibetan Buddhism (Pema Chodron) lately and have wanted to share thoughts a …

The Boston Book Festival is New England's largest annual literary event held in October. The yearly festival features more than 125 presenters and dozens of sessions for kids and adults, the BBF also boasts a bustling street fair, workshops for aspiring authors, an outdoor music stage, and more! But we're expanding our events to cover more of the calendar, and we want you to be a part of it! This group is for anyone who can't wait until October to get their fill of the BBF!

As the name of this group suggests (Maine Chapter Chicks), it's designed for women who love to read! This group is a relaxed, comfortable environment to simply to spend time together and kick back and have FUN! Yes, reading is our passion, but our goal is all about cultivating friendships. No one should feel obligated to read every page of every book, or answer every question, every month. We all lead incredibly busy lives and want this group to be easy-going and fun. Come make new friends, shar …

This is a book club for people interested in technology to read books and come together to discuss them. This is open to everyone not just IT Professionals. We will also serve light refreshments as well.

No club, if it wants to survive, can open itself to all comers. Clubs depend on exclusivity; if the conditions of membership aren’t enforced or argued away by the more insincere members, it dies or becomes something only faintly resembling what it set out to be. Let me begin, then, by telling you exactly what I want this club to be. Once a month, Bostonians who enjoy reading aloud great literature will gather at one of city’s premier watering holes to do just that. (Dive bars won’t provide the q …

Group will meet on the first Thursday evening of the month with an occasional exception to the second Thursday. Meetups can either be at people's houses, or somewhere local with drinks and food, (depending on people's preferences and …

Not everyone works Monday through Friday 9am-5pm. If your schedule - be it a class schedule, work schedule, or job hunting schedule - allows for weekday free time, then this group is for you. How about a midday run on the Esplanade? Or a round of golf or game of tennis? Interested in a book or movie discussion over lunch? Might you be up for learning how to play dominoes or catching a matinee? No commitment necessary. Come to one event or come to all of them, and by all means, suggest new daytim …
