This group is designed for people, 30ish-50ish, who want to find two things: their next great read and just maybe, their next great love. Or just a date! Too many book club picks are geared towards the fairer sex only, so we will pick books that are of interest to both the sexes - every time! Then we will meet every other month, on the first Wednesday, for a drink or dinner, and to discuss our latest book. So join me! Any single who likes to read is welcome! It could be fun...

Feminist Reading and Discussion Group (main headline) Occasionally, someone will say that feminism has outlived its usefulness and purpose. Claims have been made that women now have full equality. However, the pay gap persists, maternity leave is rare, and women only comprise a small percentage of the top level positions at companies and in the government. Additionally, the word "feminism" itself is sometimes shunned by women who are for all intents and purposes feminists (i.e. folks who believe …

Many teens and young adults are challenged (aka required) to read "the classics" in high school or college literature courses. Yet others either didn't have those courses, never took those electives or just flat out "didn't want" to read these books at that point in their lives. As we grow older and (hopefully) wiser, we now begin to ask did we miss something? Or if you did read the classics, is there something more now that I'm at a different life stage? Are you an avid reader who likes to re …
