Hi Everyone! This group is designed, really, as a meeting place for people who are interested in meeting new friends in Toronto and love to read, or talk about other cool hobbies like makeup and shopping. The Book club will focus on fun and light literature (i.e. if Tolstoy is your thang, maybe this meetup is not?). Books that I have in mind are the Harry Potter Series, the Shopaholic series, and any other fun fiction or chick lit that you might be interested in! Ages 20-30 preferred :)

This group is a book club with a twist. It is a book club for writers. Why are some books popular? What makes them bestsellers? What can we as writers learn from these books? I started this book club because traditional book clubs are too vanilla for me. If you are a committed writer, then this meetup is for you. We meet once a month in downtown Toronto. Other events are scheduled as we think of them. Each month, we will chose a work of fiction and examine it from the perspective of a writer (an …

We invite Toronto writers who would like more information on book self-publishing as an alternative.  We seek to empower writers through book self-publishing.  Learn how you could transform your manuscript into a potential best seller and get paid much more for your writing than if you had sought to pursue the traditional trade publishing route.

This Reader's club is dedicated to reading books written by Canadian Authors. Books will be chosen in advance, so you will have plenty of time to read them. Books will be all genres (but mostly fiction). The only thing they will have in common is that the author must be Canadian. That doesn't mean we'll read only Margaret Atwood or Robertson Davies, but new Canadian Authors. Some will be from smaller publishers, some will be new writers. All books will be available at the book store or library.

Do you enjoy reading fiction books with nice like minded people....come out and share your reading choices in central North York. The location in mind is both TTC accessible and with free parking.

"There are among the matters yet to be imagined. Matters of which as yet no inkling. The test is company." - Beckett Technology has changed how books are being written, discovered, read, sold, shared, and talked about.

Welcome to The Toronto Philosophy Club!  This is a book club of sorts with a focus on cognitive science, philosophy of mind, philosophy of biology, and philosophy of religion.  Of course, foundational philosophical questions are here as well.  We meet in cozy pubs/restaurants and have lively, stimulating discussions.  Many of us have some background in academic western philosophy (quite a range), and the conversations hinge on this somewhat.  However, we do open up the table to many interests an …

“Truly fine poetry must be read aloud. A good poem does not allow itself to be read in a low voice or silently. If we can read it silently, it is not a valid poem: a poem demands pronunciation. Poetry always remembers that it was an oral art before it was a written art. It remembers that it was first song." Jorge Luis Borges This is a meetup group for people who like to read, and be read to. Everyone is welcome!  Bring a passage or two that you like and recite it with the group, then we can tal …
