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!
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?
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.

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 …
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. …

/9731055-josie) for those of you that may be interested in joining. We will meet once every 3 months or so to discuss a book and probably have social gatherings in-between once the ball gets rolling.
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 …
For any bibliophile who lives in or near South County and would like to participate in a book discussion group where Members get to chose the books. Will meet the 3rd Saturday of every month at 5:00 at Perks and Corks in Westerly where the Chai tea is the best- hot or cold and the Martinis are awesome. Something for everyone including tapas for the hungry. Please click on the link under Featured Meetup (on the right) for the upcoming month to find book information.
What started as a book discussion group for gay men has evolved into a group for anyone who would like to read and discuss great books while getting to know other people with common interests. Anyone who loves to read and discuss books is welcome!
Hi, We meet and discuss one book each month. Active book club members suggest books and we vote for "the book of the month" at the end of each meeting. We like to read books that would contribute attaining higher levels of consciousness and better awareness on the path of spiritual growth. Our first meeting was on April 16, 2008 to discuss Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth" at Borders in Shrewsbury, MA. Our new meeting place is Shrewsbury Public Library. The List of Books Discussed in 2008: April - …

I am a reader of Tarot and other divination forms for many years and there aren't any local groups for learning and practicing Tarot here, so I made one! This is a group to learn and discuss Tarot cards, runes, geomancy, and any or all forms of divination. Let's learn from each other!
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!
Meetup details are available only to members.
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 …
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.

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 …

"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 …
Boston's monthly book club featuring literature by and/or about gay men.
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 …
