I have wanted to be in a book club for a long time, but cringe when my friends tell me their clubs are reading "Diaries of a Shoppaholic" and the like. I love to read, but feel like I have a more and more difficult time finding books that I really love. I would like to start a group that could meet monthly and, in addition to the typical pick a book, read and discuss, talk in general about books we love and why. Perhaps every other meeting we could pick a book to read that either one member love …
Read. Eat. Discuss. Have fun. Repeat. Food and books--almost as good of a pair as milk and cookies. Or Lennon and McCartney. This is all about getting together with other people who enjoy eating and reading and discussing what makes literature great and any other topics that may come up. With so many books in print it is good to have direction from other avid readers to know what to read next. What better avenue than over a delicious meal at one of SLC's fine dining venues? Classic reading …
Do you regret not paying attention during your literature classes in high school? Would you like to read the "classics" and discuss them with others? If so, you've found the right club. We will be reading a wide range of modern, ancient, medieval and contemporary classic books from around the globe! Anything over 600 pages.... we'll probably split into two meetings. **Ideally** you should have the novels read before you attend a meetup, but you don't have to or even have started them! But Come r …
… We all need support in our lives at one time or another and I think reading these types of books can inspire us all and help guide us on our journey.

… Rather, participants are encouraged to bring poems for reading and discussion, just attend and join in the discussion. At least in the beginning, each meeting will be a cornucopia of surprises.
I decided to form this group because there are not very many book clubs on Meetup for the SLC area. For now I do not want to limit the club to a certain type of book. Instead, I would love to open it up to new fellow members as to what genre of fiction or non-fiction they would like to discuss. I also want the book selection to be democratic through polls, rather than a dictatorship. In summary, if you love to read and would like to meet other bookworms to discuss the book of the meeting (but I …

In this meetup group we will be discussing a number of interesting issues that stem from books, movies, current events, and everyday experiences -- all with a philosophical bent, but also in an environment that invites the participation of all its members. I imagine discussions for which people have prepared at least minimally beforehand by reading up on the issues to be discussed, and positing / answering a few questions on those issues; we'll see what works best, and tweek things accordingly. …

The Oulipo is a Paris-based "workshop" of poets, writers, artists, and mathematicians, that formed in 1960 to explore "potential literature" (OUvroir de LIttérature POtentielle) and the relationship of formalism and literature. From such esoteric origins arose a rich and, frankly, awesome body of works, along with a whole catalog of "constraints," tools to use to make your own poetry and literature. Oulipo, SLC is for enthusiasts of the group that has included such illustrious members as Raymon …
