About the East Bay Book Club The East Bay Book Club is a very dynamic group of individuals who share one thing in common: an enthusiasm for books. Each month, members read a particular book, chosen by the whole group or by the Organizer, and meet to share observations, insights, and personal thoughts about it. Meetings are devoted to various genres, both contemporary and classic. Although the club is based in Berkeley, CA, book readers from any geographical area are welcome to join. The club's …

A Sunday afternoon, a glass of wine, a few snacks, a fantastic piece of playwriting, and a group of avid play readers who like to have fun!  What could be better?

Hi! I'm brand-new to San Francisco and after trying out three writing groups, I decided that it might be fun to start one of my own. A bit about me: I am a graduate student in marriage and family therapy. I write mostly poetry, but also dabble in fiction. When I was living in New Hampshire, I was a member of a group called Feeding the Writer, and I found that it's format really worked well. I was thinking it might be fun to try it out here in SF, with some modifications based on the preferences …

A book club for women of all ages in the Diablo Valley area. Everyone's lives are busy and not everyone has the time to read a book each month.   To that end, we'll meet every two months to discuss a particular book, socialize, and pick the next book.

… Note to Meetup members:  so that readers can get a true feel for our group, we periodically ask folks to remove themselves if they contact us but don't go on to become active participants. Overall Vision As writers, we know about being shy. Rest assured you’ll be in friendly company. Our aspiration is to create a safe place to share our writing, experiment, occasionally fall on our faces, and figure out what works and what doesn’t – as writers, as givers of feedback, as group participants. Hopef …

Meet local readers of the Conversations with God series, written by Neale Donald Walsch. Our main objective is to engage in a mutual exchange of ideas and life perspectives as they reflect our experiences and aspirations. We will often read from and refer to the CWG series of books but you do not have to have read any of the books to be most welcome. Just come with an open heart and mind, the ability to listen and if you wish, to share, and you will fit right in. Maybe you are not at all familia …

So what's the worst part of most book groups? Being forced to read a book you simply don't want to read. And what's the best part: getting all those great book recommendations! In this meet up, we're going to dispense with the book *reading* and go straight to the recommending ... and we'll do it with a game I call the "Book Auction". Each participant brings 2 of their favorite books (1 fiction, 1 non-fiction) -- these can be books off your shelf, or new purchases from a store. At the door, ever …
