Read. Eat. Discuss. Have fun. Repeat. Food and books--almost as good of a pair as milk and cookies. Or Lennon and McCartney. This is all about getting together with other people who enjoy eating and reading and discussing what makes literature great and any other topics that may come up. With so many books in print it is good to have direction from other avid readers to know what to read next. What better avenue than over a delicious meal at one of SLC's fine dining venues? Classic reading …

We will be reading a wide range of modern, ancient, medieval and contemporary classic books from around the globe!

This is a book club for women who want to learn about new subjects, or familiar ones, with the help of other nonfiction readers. Any topic goes, from evolution to eastern religions, and if you're an expert, even better! If you enjoy nonfiction and often wish you had others to help answer lingering questions after a good nonfiction read, please consider joining this group! Monthly meetings with wine and food would be ideal.
Poetry surrounds us in music, plays, prayer, and some prose. It's the most ancient form of communicating stories across generations. Yet, many of us are intimidated by "Poetry." I don't understand much poetry, but I enjoy it even when I don't grasp it. I find opportunities to discuss poetry in a low key, friendly, intelligent environment to be wholly lacking. Therefore, I reach out to those who might enjoy convivial discussions about poetry of most any form . Perhaps there are others in the Meet …
I'm a stay-at-home mom who would rather discuss sasquatch, alternative medicine, and the (non?) existence of god than soccer and potty training. This group is for any skeptical-type people willing to read one skeptical or science-themed book a month (ranging from serious to silly--I'm open to suggestions all over the spectrum) and discuss it over snacks and drinks. We'll each have to buy our own books, 'cause the library book group selections weren't chosen for non-fiction readers.
