There are many, many more... Let's get together to read, discuss and celebrate these brilliant women over a glass of wine or a cup of coffee and …

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.

Hello to my bi-sexual community. I am running a bi-sexual support and reading group that will be located and supported by the Brooklyn Community Pride Center. We bi-sexuals often don't get enough support and recognition. We need to be recognized by the LGBT community as well as the world. I created this group for fellow bi-sexuals so that we can openly discuss our sexuality, support each other in being open and comfortable with our sexuality and read books written by and about bi-sexuals. The pr …

A group for gay men (not necessarily of the Brooklynite variety) to read and discuss literature (not necessarily of the LGBT variety) while meeting new people and exploring new places in the process. Giving credit where credit is due...A similar group is in Manhattan (http://www.meetup.com/NYC-GAY-MENS-BOOK-CLUB/), and I stole the name from this group (http://www.meetup.com/Boys-on-Bikes/)

I have been getting so much out of a certain genre of literature that I decided to see if anyone else wanted to read and discuss them. All of these books are terrific depictions of the journey out of emptiness and back into the vitality of being alive. They always inspire. Anyone who finds the topic of re-discovering spiritual health and innocence, particularly if the starting point is a jaded love for self-destruction should join this meet-up. We'll meet weekly and peel one of these novels apar …

We also hike, climb, backpack, camp, and enjoy water and winter sports with equal enthusiasm and vigor.  If you happen to love to do all these things, y …

The author will read and then listen while the rest of the group provide criticism and feedback. The author is not allowed to speak while feedback is provided. You should …

Greyhound Meetup There are so few organized social groups for rescued greyhounds and their owners in NJ. That is why I wanted to start this group. Greyhounds can socialize with each other in relaxed environments such as beaches, parks, or other appropriate venues. I think rescued greyhounds should interact with other greyhounds as often as possible. I take my greyhound out to beaches and parks often, but I rarely see other greyhounds in the parks and on the beaches. Let's help our pets make new …

I took over the Metuchen Book Lovers Group - I love to read all types of books and I am proposing that each month we read from a different genre, i.e, fiction, non-fiction, mystery, biography, history, etc.

They just don't write em' like they used to! We'll have a casual chat about a new classic each time. We can meet whenever and wherever. Not all book clubs have to gather at a coffee shop :-) Some titles already on the list include Anna Karenina, Dracula and Catcher in the Rye. I want the rest of the group to pick some titles, as well. I'm going for a very laid-back kind of gathering. So, let's all put on our smarty pants and share a few laughs and conversation!
