This group started out as a traditional book club but I discovered quickly that fun people don't particularly like homework to do before being social. So I developed a book club for people who don't have time to read the book but like to get together with friends and talk about...well...books. So now you have the option of reading the book ahead of time and then seeing the movie with friends or simply seeing the movie with friends. Either way after the movie we go to dinner and discuss. If you'v …
As a member of the Oprah Book Club 2.0, you can tweet, post, and all of that jazz, but if you want a little face-to-face contact as well, then this is the Club for you! We'll follow Oprah's picks and meet to discuss what we think and how we feel about what we've read. This is for bookworms who also want to get out and about! We can meet in our homes, at coffee houses, restaurants, it's all up to us!
We read a variety of interesting books and have good conversations, enjoy great food, and get to know others. We meet on the fourth Monday of every month, choosing different restaurants in the area where we can relax and chat about good books. All members contribute suggestions for books and restaurants, so no one is left out!
This is a bookclub designed for African-American women between the ages of 25-50 who love to read good books, socialize and eat!
This club is designed to be a bit different from the usual book club. Rather than assigning a single book for each meeting, I'll assign a theme or topic or genre or author and let each member choose a relevant book for herself. It may be a book you know and love or something new to you. The advantage is that no one ever has to read a book she doesn't like, yet everyone will arrive at the meeting ready to say a few words about her book and to join the general discussion. And everyone will hear ab …

Messianic-Judeo-Christianity, or Messianic Judaism, is the merger of modern day Christianity, with elements of Jewish terminology and heritage. A misunderstood concept, which combines the most sacred gift of Jesus Christ, with the abundance of our Hebraic roots. Why ? Because Jesus, Yeshua in Hebrew, was Jewish when he was on earth, and through him we are grafted into the " good olive branch " , which is Israel ! , Romans 11:17-26 So Abraham also " believed God, and it was credited to …
Meet kindred classic literature aficionados in a local Book Club! Our focus will be classic British literature, primarily 19th century.

I’m starting this group because (1) I enjoy reading military history and (2) I enjoy discussing books with smart people. I’d like to meet people with broad interests in military history who are willing to read and discuss books spanning all of human history, rather than a narrow focus on one conflict or era: there is something to be learned from any war, I think. We will meet once a month, to discuss the book we'd voted on. Ideally, one or two persons will serve as primary discussion leaders: p …

We meet every third Saturday evening of the month (usually) to read one of Shakespeare's plays aloud. People who like Shakespeare's work and want to learn more about it are welcome to join. No acting experience is necessary. When the RSVPs are in for a particular reading, I post a tentative cast list, usually two to three weeks beforehand. Those who RSVP after the casting deadline may attend the meeting, but will be admitted on a standby basis: as space permits, and as availability of role …

GONE FISHIN' -- This group closed in 2009 due to waning interest by the members. No new events will be scheduled. No new members will be accepted. After the final installment "HP and the Deathly Hallows" was published, most people simply lost their enthusiasm for the Potterverse. Someone else started another HP group in Winston-Salem in 2010, but it only had a few events. I have purged this group's membership list and have kept this site only for archive purposes. We had a GREAT time for 2 years …
