Ulysses is one of those books that, if you didn't read it in college, you're not likely to ever read it in adult life. So many of us who used to love reading books, maybe majored in English in college, now don't have the time to really read anymore. The purpose of this meetup is simple: Let's read Joyce's Ulysses, as a group, this winter/spring. We'll meet regularly, give ourselves motivation to read the book and discuss it, and get to check it off a list. I've read it twice in college so I can …
This group was started to bring people ages 40+ together who share an interest in reading classic fiction and non-fiction (out loud). The group will meet in Forest Hills in a member's apartment. No purchasing of books is required, nor is reading anything in advance. Rather we will pass the book around as we read. It is not required that everyone read aloud. Reading is done on a voluntary basis. You are welcome to come and just listen! The host will provide cold (non alcoholic) beverages. Gue …

Come join us for rousing discussions and lively debates! Each month, we select a category of nonfiction to read, all members are welcome to make book suggestions in the chosen category, and then the recommended …
ReLIT NY runs a unique program in NYC that collects used books and brings them directly to the public, (for free) thereby making reading more convenient, easily accessible and most importantly cost-free. At the same time, we give old books, that would have otherwise been thrown out, a second life by passing them onto others. What we do: We collect used books from the public through our drop-boxes- currently located at Whole Foods Union Square and W 97th St- and distribute them outside major subw …

From time to time new groups are formed and remain open for awhile to newcomers. If yo …
This Meetup is for people who are interested in getting together to read Shakespeare's plays out loud. Each person will take one (or more!) parts and we will act them out. At each meetup, we'll take one of his plays (chosen at the previous meetup and announced on the Meetup's website), assign parts and run with it. Be funny, be dramatic, have fun!
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 w …

… It is required reading for leaders of the US armed forces in that area. Future Nobel Prize winner? I think so. -Freedom by Jonathan Franzen Much has been written about this blockbuster novel. The main character is committed to ecological reparation and progressive values. His crises of confidence and engagement about his work are provocative, to say the least. -What the Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell I am a sucker for Gladwell's stuff. This is a collection of his essays that appeared in the …

Meet kindred book lovers in the Rockland/Bergen County area. While we may occasionally read a modern classic (Lolita, Catch-22), we read mostly classic works written before 1950 (check our calendar to sample our book selection). We emphasize novels and plays important within the history of literature or have some historical interest. We have friendly, topical discussions about what we enjoyed, didn't enjoy, and found interesting in our reading while making some literate friends in the process. G …
Once upon a last week, two recent graduates decided they wanted to read something other than romance novels for a change (or not...). So we're starting this group in hopes of finding other people with a passion for reading, and a willingness to embark upon a most ambitious quest: to read as many of the "top 100 novels" as we possible can. However we don't want to limit ourselves to just those - we hope to explore, examine, and be entertained by all different types of genres. There is no li …

This group is for those who love reading and watching movies (and eating while discussing them). We want to read great books and watch great films across genres and cultures--and then talk about how they make us think and grow. We will choose books from "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die" and movies from "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die." All Group Members will have a vote--majority will rule on what we read and watch in what order! Here is a link to the lists: http://www.1001befo …

… Even if you hate it and have to choke it down, we'd love to hear about why you hated it. Reading the book stimulates the conversation and we're all about sweet convo. Also, please only RSVP Yes if you plan on attending. No-shows will get you removed from the group (but I wouldn't worry about being a no-show as we're tons of fun and if you RSVP Yes I know, come Hell or high water, you'll show)! Come join us!
… There are two to three selections of readings through the month, and a social gathering. (Please note that you do note have to read all of the books for the month, unless you would like to :-)) There are also special events that you are welcome to enjoy and hopefully meet with other like-minded groups. Come to laugh, share stories, share God and make new friends!

“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 …
