"No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance." — Confucius I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who gave many a classic book a pass while growing up. Yet it turns out our teachers were right and there is a literary currency that these works provide. This book club is your chance to sit down and finally read Anna Karenina, Don Quixote, Pride and Prejudice, but also the somewhat forgotten classics and even modern works …
Hi, Our first meeting was on April 16, 2008 to discuss Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth" at Borders in Shrewsbury, MA. We followed Oprah and Eckhart's "Web Event". I have been organizing this book group since 2008. I hope the books we read contribute attaining higher levels of consciousness and better awareness on the path of spiritual growth. Active book group members suggest books and we vote for "the book of the month" at the end of each meeting. The List of Books Discussed in 2008: April - "A …

We are an easy-going group of people who want an excuse to get out of the house more, and talk about books, eat some food, drink some drinks, do some book swapping, etc. Our meetings take place on the first Monday of each month, at Forbes Library in Northampton. We meet downstairs, in the Community Room, at 7 pm. Our friendly librarians reserve the following month's book selection; just ask at the desk. The library lets us have snacks, so feel free to stop off at Haymarket or wherever. We …

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!

Am I the only person in Boston who will admit to reading trashy romance novels and LOVING them? I've formed this group to find others who share my love and want to talk about the finer points of romance novels (because there are many!) in a fun, fantastically female environment. We'll pick a new novel to read every month, which could be anything from the latest Lisa Kleypas or Christine Warren to oldies but goodies like Persuasion or Rebecca. Join me for some great, though occasionally ribald co …

The first rule of the Cult Fiction Club: you do not talk about the Cult Fiction Club. What is a cult book? 1. A book that is not a bestseller, or has been out of print for some time. 2. A book that inspires a small but vocal following. 3. A book that touches on topics that are in some way unusual, different, outre, even dangerous. 4. A book that inspires change, thought or action. 5. A book that is, above all else, well written. Every month, The Cult Fiction Club selects one book fitting all or …

If you read tarot or have an interest in learning how to read tarot, we have various meet-ups around Salem and the Boston area for like-minded people to meet, share tips in a non-judgmental welcoming setting, and have a good time! We use the tarot as a powerful divination tool and believe the tarot does not predict the future or tell you what choices you should make. Our philosophy is based on developing your own psychic & intuitive abilities and teaching you how to find the answers you seek us …

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!

Has a colleague's passing reference to a great writer (Hemingway or Tolstoy perhaps) made you wish you knew his work? Or perhaps you just finished The Brothers Karamazov but have no one to discuss it with? This is a book club for anyone who wishes to read and discuss classics works of the western literary canon. We meet monthly on Sunday afternoons in a Providence bookstore to discuss our chosen book of the month. Our interpretation of the "classics" is fairly strict; we mostly choose books or a …

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 (an independently run) co-ed Worcester Area (please live within a reasonable distance) group for men and women to gather and discuss gender neutral books. We've chosen a spot you may all know well, to meet once a month, to gather for friendly discussion of club picks, a wine or spirit of your choosing and perhaps some appetizers *we will keep the budget small moneywise*-- you do not have to spend much. We find a book club is best in a quiet friendly setting but one that offers the choice …

It's time to rekindle the group for the new year, and there are a few changes. I welcome your thoughts on them. 0. First, let me address some questions people have asked. This is a writing group, not a critiquing group. You don't need to distribute work ahead of time or do any homework. You can write anything you want; there is no preferred genre or style. You can come as frequently or infrequently as you wish. You can RSVP or not, show or not. We do not charge, we do not judge. 1. …
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 …
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.

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 …
