Hi everybody, Started in 1969, The Man Booker Prize is the UK's Pulitzer Prize. The Booker Prize Book Club meets once a month to read and discuss prize winners and nominees of the Man Booker Prize. All are welcome - bring your strong opinions, thoughts, and questions and let's discuss amongst ourselves!! Great way to meet new friends. I've been in book clubs for many years, in my former city of Washington, and here. At this point my dear book friends are fun to be with and share dinner, but we d …

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” ~Dr. Seuss I've tried joining a few book clubs that were genre specific (chick lit), gender specific (chicks only), and author specific (Stephen King) but as none seemed to satisfy my palate, I thought I'd try to see if there were others like me, i.e. those who can equally enjoy the likes of Jane Austen, Stephen King, Shakespeare,Neil Gaiman, Dean Koontz as well as nonfiction books (The …

Welcome to the Washington/Hudson Heights Book Club, we're glad you're here. A bit about us… About Us We're uptown readers in the Washington and Hudson Heights neighborhoods who love to read. We're looking for other book folk to read with us, share food, drink and have conversation. We're laid back, pretty hilarious, and love books. Nothing stuffy about us. About Book Club We're a group who mixes it up by exploring a range of authors/genres -- fiction, memoir, debuts, classics, cultural, horror …

This book club will cover great literary works such as Hemingway, Dickens, Shelley, Bronte, Milton, to more recent authors like...humm...let me think--okay---let's face it, English degree = reading lots of dead authors. But really, let's read some great classics, and a little new stuff too. :) This group is aimed at 25-35 year-old people (give or take a few years) who like to get together over drinks or a meal and have critical discussions about the classics. Please read on to find out how we r …

Let's enjoy reading, discussing, and coffee! Meet once a month for brunch and book discussion in Jersey City! Always Sundays 11.30am until about 1.30pm, about the 3rd week of the month. Since each brunch is at a different location, reservations made for 10 people. Try to have a different member 'own' each meetups book choice. This person can ask us to vote on a few choices beforehand, or make a unilateral choice. People who choose books are people who showed up and kindly volunteered to do so. …

That's right, we're a book club that doesn't even require you to read the book. Each meeting starts with a video or PDF presentation of the book's key concepts so you can learn everything you need to know just by attending the meeting. We'll discuss how we've applied the book's concepts to our businesses and then leave with an action plan to apply them starting immediately (if you don't use it, you lose it). Who Should Join Open to anyone who'd like to learn more strategies for improving their b …

Welcome! This group is for women in the Jersey City area in their mid-20's to 30's to who love to read all different types of books and are looking to make new friends! The plan is to select a book each month to read, then get together at a local restaurant or bar to discuss over a glass of wine.  Ideally, we will keep the meetups small and get a core group together that meets every month!

The group meets the last Wednesday of every month to discuss New Yorker essays and short stories. The PLUS is a pre-meeting, separate discussion of a book ( fiction or non-fiction ) chosen in advance by the group. A member may participate in The New Yorker meeting without joining the book discussion. All essays, short stories, and books are chosen at each meeting by the group. In some cases the group may decided to devote multiple sessions to a book.

I'd love book clubs if it wasn't for the reading. This club is about reading captivating articles of modest length, and then chatting about them over a drink. Articles can be about whatever we want: corruption, religion, Jesse Ventura, high school popularity, etc. We meet in Manhattan, usually in Union Square, the East Village or LES.

Each month, we will read and discuss and/or write about a great classic written by various American or European authors. Some of these books we may have read as children or teens, others may be new to us, but all have had a significant impact on readers around the globe and are worth a read, or even a second read. We will meet at a coffee/tea shop or a wine bar each month to discuss the book of the month and share anything we have written about the book, if designated as an optional assignment.

Ever since I was done with my art history degree, I've been missing the intense and insightful reading schedule I endured as a student. True, I still try to catch up with new publications, but I know I miss out a lot. So, I thought that doing it as a group may bring more motivation as well as enhance the understanding of serious writings about art through a stimulating discussion. If you share my interests in art history and criticism - do join. I see this as monthly book club/discussion group m …

Calling all Murakami Nerds! This is a book club for fans of Japanese writer Haruki Murakami, author of Norwegian Wood, 1Q84, and more. Each month, we will get together and discuss one of his novels. We'll also have Murakami-themed events with food, music, and performance art. Anyone wanting to get together and share appreciation of this amazing writer is welcome!

If you are looking for a serious book club in which they discuss the deep meaning of the books please note this is not the one for you. We are a fun, sometimes serious, most times not so serious book club. We all enjoy reading (well of course we do) and have read some very good books and unfortunately a couple not so good books. Our discussions can last from five minutes to an hour and it really depends upon the book. We read primarily contemporary fiction, but we're open to anything. Some of ou …

This is a new kind of book club! Lots of great movies were originally great books. So, we'll read the books that new movies are being adapted from (recent examples: Lord of the Rings, Sherlock Holmes, Fight Club, Twilight, The Lovely Bones - we'll do any book/movie combo, no biases), then go see the movies (Sunday morning matinees for fewer crowds and lower prices) and we'll talk afterwards all about what we thought: the similarities, differences, your likes, dislikes, etc. Some upcoming book/mo …

We are a book club of women (mostly early 30s, some older, some younger) who have been meeting for about four years, but many of our members have moved out of the City so we're hoping for some new people to join. We usually discuss a book every 4-6 weeks over dinner, and read everything from chick lit to nonfiction; all suggestions are welcome. Please join us!

Welcome to the Upper East Side Book Club! We are a group of 20-30 year olds who meet once a month (first Thursday of every month) at a local bar on the UES to discuss a book! Our past books have been: January - The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe February - Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand March - The Roundhouse by Louise Erdrich

There are no assigned readings, no assigned themes. Instead, read what you want and be prepared to explain (without spoilers, if it's fiction) what makes it compelling or a door stop. Extra points for dramatic reenactments, diagrams, and remembering what it was you read. If you're planning to attend an upcoming event, please list in the comments what you're reading, so those between books can choose whether or not to join you. The idea is to meet within walking distance of the 1, A/C D/B station …

We are a group of gay guys of all ages who meet the first Wednesday of every month. We read an eclectic range of books from classics to just-released works. We don't necessarily read books with a gay theme or characters, but always open to suggestions. Very easy going; more social than academic. Generally we talk about the book for the first part of the meeting and then the conversation evolves (or maybe devolves) to talking about anything else:  pop culture, gay life, vacations, etc.  We meet a …

We are a group of young (20's and early 30's) boozy book readers who believe that life is too short to always be too serious. We therefore would like to get together once a month to discuss and debate a short (

We're an already established group of amazing women who have been together in our book club for about 4 years.
