Off-Beat R.E.A.D. (Read, Eat And Discuss) is Atlanta's Bookclub/Discussion Group for those that like books and discussions that are slightly...well, off-beat. We read cult classics, snarky fiction, quirky autobios and chat about them - all over food and drinks, all over Atlanta. There may even be opportunity for costumes...no promises, but maybe. There's no dress code or hidden agenda - just good times, and books. If you're into that sort of thing - join us! There are no "rules", per se, just a …

This group is for the "Nerdy Black Woman" who enjoys reading cerebral nonfiction and fiction books. It's for the thinker that seeks out books to challenge her worldview, broaden her horizons, teach her bittersweet lessons on the deeper meaning of life, and answer many of her existential questions. These will be books that span across all disciplines (e.g., History, Science, Politics, Psychology, Human Behavior, etc). Poorly written and poorly conceptualized books (i.e., street lit, hood novels, …

Yes, this club is for non-readers who wish they could read more, but enjoy books nonetheless. Life is busy but if the topics are of interest to you, join us for discussion. I select a book each from one of 5 or so topics each moth, and discuss intersections in thought, and how these books can help us make our lives better in real ways. This book club is also for the veracious reader, only satisfied when engaged in the pursuit of knowledge. A mind can be enlightened with the synthesis of diverse …

We are a smaller book club that meets monthly. We read fiction and non-fiction and have vegetarian-friendly dinners at meetings. Our members come from all walks of life. The things we have in common are that we like to read, have thoughtful discussions, and eat! It's OK to come to the meetings even if you didn't like the book or couldn't finish the book. Also, you don't have to be vegetarian to join, and this group is NOT designed as a forum for reading/discussing books about vegetarianism.
