My thought is that we will meet once a month to discuss a chick lit book. Meeting locations are restaurants where we can have a drink and bite to eat while we chat. My goals are …

This is a group for anyone who enjoys reading or writing long-form or book-length works of nonfiction. If you enjoy long-form feature writing in the New Yorker, the Atlantic, or Esquire... or books by authors like Laura Hillenbrand, Rebecca Skloot, Bill Bryson, David Sedaris, Malcolm Gladwell, or Gay Talese, this would be a meetup for you. I'm looking forward to monthly meetups to read and discuss great nonfiction. Sometimes we'll read and discuss an article or two; other times, a nonfiction boo …

If you loved the Hunger Games, Princess Diaries, Sweet Valley Confidential, and all those other books that you want to put a paper bag book-cover on so nobody sees what you're reading, then you've found the right place!
