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? East Bay PlayReaders is a group for amateurs who are theater lovers and would like the social experience of group reading. The group is open to anyone, and actors can join, but the purpose is to bring in non-professionals who want to be a part of a playreading, without theater experience. The venue we have chosen is in Alameda, CA. , b …

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 …

This group is for women mostly aged 25-35 (though all are welcome) that would like to read, cook,  and/or walk with a group on a regular basis.

Please feel free to pick and choose what events interest you! *Attendance Policy* We want to ma …

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 …

***DISCLAIMER: Girls are allowed :) ... if you fit the description and like to hang out as one of the guys then join up! *** THE SITUATION: During the day, you're a young professional.  When you're with the significant other, you're the best boyfriend/husband ever (that is, unless you're single... then you're just the guy that enjoys his mom's cooking). But a lot of the time, you're a guy that just wants to do guy stuff. You want to talk about Natalie Portman, sports, comics, and food. You want …

Thrillers are awesome! Well, some, right? I wanted to get a group of people together to read thrillers and talk about them. What we liked or didn't, how the story developed, why some things worked and not others, or compare them to other things we've read. This is not a brainy book club, it is meant to be fun, open minded and for people who like to express their opinion and don't get angry if others don't share it. I'm from Spain, so I'm super opinionated and differences in opinions will always …

Our goal is to bring people of different backgrounds together to experience the fun, drama and the joy of reading a play.

This group will read pulitzer prize winning books and gather on a monthly basis to discuss them.

Welcome! This is a fun social co-ed book club for people of all ages (must be 18 years or older) who love reading. I used to read quite a bit when I was younger and in school but as I started working I found that my time was very limited and slowly stopped reading. I'd like to get back into reading at least one book a month. I would like to start this book club in the South Bay, specifically the San Jose area because this is where I live, so that as I read I can share my ideas and comments to ot …
