Hello, Our book club is open to all who share a specific interest in reading memoirs and would like to join us for brunch to discuss the current book.

Please come to the brunch having already read the memoir so that yo …

Although gay men now live in the everchanging digital age, few things compare to reading books the way we were taught. How relaxing is it to step away from the computer and lose yourself in a good novel, play or article? Enough blogging, men. Let's read. Let's discuss. Let's explore.

This club's goal is to have great discussions on renowned works in both fiction and non-fiction. This would include great works of literature, history, autobiographies, biographies, plays etc. Great books and great discussions are our goal; books that profoundly explore human nature. Especially for fiction it would be great to hear from people who have read the book at different phases of their lives and to hear how their opinions of the book have changed. We will have monthly meeting with most …

We are a group of friendly, diverse, neighborhood women who like good books and lively conversation.  We favor books that are well-written and allow us to learn a bit about some period in history and/or another culture.  We are price conscious, and have never put a hardcover book on our list.  Our membership is limited to 20 people, but spots do open regularly.  Our meetings are limited to 10, on a first-RSVP-first-come basis.  Please join us if you love great writing, are open to reading new th …

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” ~Dr. Seuss I've tried joining a few book clubs that were genre specific (chick lit), gender specific (chicks only), and author specific (Stephen King) but as none seemed to satisfy my palate, I thought I'd try to see if there were others like me, i.e. those who can equally enjoy the likes of Jane Austen, Stephen King, Shakespeare,Neil Gaiman, Dean Koontz as well as nonfiction books (The …

The UX Book Club: NYC has been in existence since 2009. We meet every two months weeks to engage in in lively, in-depth discussions of books with the potential for making an impact on the way we think and work in our field. We’re also a social club, a salon-of-sorts interested in building community among like-minded folks hungry for ideas and good talk. We believe in the concept of sharing diverse perspectives as a way toward enhancing personal practice and promoting greater community understand …

Inspired by a recent story in the Wall Street Journal, about a long-running reading group in which the members read books aloud -- 35 or so pages a meeting -- they've read Dickens, Milton, Tolstoy, Faulkner, the Brontes, Eliot, Austen. In addition to the book we're reading (our first is The Transit of Venus), we've begun meetings by reading other short pieces or poems.

The Breakdown: We read good books. We're looking for other intellectually curious, like-minded 20somethings (a vague guideline) in Astoria (another vague guideline) to read them with us, share some food, drink, and sweet convo. The Criteria For Choosing Said Good Books: Magical language (with a healthy dash of magical realism), fresh voices (love a debut) irreverent to painfully relevant, growing up, growing old, dying, coming back to life, urban culture to Southern idyllicy, savory books that y …

I decided to start the group because I cannot find a book club that assigns books that are more to my liking. So I am hoping to find other girls who will enjoy the type of books I love to read. I read both fiction and non fiction, but my main interest is stories that touch upon specific things: feminism, sexuality, mental health, etc. So join my group if you are looking to stay local in Brooklyn, like to drink and like to read.

A Long Island City based book club! We'll pick a book then meet locally to watch the movie once a month. "Never judge a book by its movie." J. W. Eagan

Fascinated by psychology? We'll read books regarding cognitive psychology, behavioral economics, and discuss the power of neuroplasticity. Meet and talk to others who share the same interest in psychology as you do. We'll meet monthly and books will cover key areas in psychology such as: - Behavioral psychology - Decision-making - Behavioral economics - Organizational psychology - Positive psychology

Each month, we will read and discuss and/or write about a great classic written by various American or European authors. Some of these books we may have read as children or teens, others may be new to us, but all have had a significant impact on readers around the globe and are worth a read, or even a second read. We will meet at a coffee/tea shop or a wine bar each month to discuss the book of the month and share anything we have written about the book, if designated as an optional assignment.

If you are looking for a serious book club in which they discuss the deep meaning of the books please note this is not the one for you. We are a fun, sometimes serious, most times not so serious book club. We all enjoy reading (well of course we do) and have read some very good books and unfortunately a couple not so good books. Our discussions can last from five minutes to an hour and it really depends upon the book. We read primarily contemporary fiction, but we're open to anything. Some of ou …

We're offering a special book club for the commuting masses. Not only will you get to share in a city-wide book club, but you'll also get to meet the author at a special event! Stay tuned for our first selection!

We are a book club of women (mostly early 30s, some older, some younger) who have been meeting for about four years, but many of our members have moved out of the City so we're hoping for some new people to join.

There are no assigned readings, no assigned themes. Instead, read what you want and be prepared to explain (without spoilers, if it's fiction) what makes it compelling or a door stop. Extra points for dramatic reenactments, diagrams, and remembering what it was you read. If you're planning to attend an upcoming event, please list in the comments what you're reading, so those between books can choose whether or not to join you. The idea is to meet within walking distance of the 1, A/C D/B station …

We are a group of gay guys of all ages who meet the first Wednesday of every month. We read an eclectic range of books from classics to just-released works. We don't necessarily read books with a gay theme or characters, but always open to suggestions. Very easy going; more social than academic. Generally we talk about the book for the first part of the meeting and then the conversation evolves (or maybe devolves) to talking about anything else:  pop culture, gay life, vacations, etc.  We meet a …
