Hello This book group meets every 4 weeks or so for a book discussion. Typically we choose a central/west restaurant at 6:30pm on Saturdays. Books are selected from member suggestions. Membership is limited and we may remove members who have not participated for over 6 months or who are "no shows" for meetups for which they have RSVPd in the affirmative. Cheers, Karen P

While we are a book club, our Meetups tend to focus on the beer drinking aspect! You are encouraged to read the book, but if you're not able to in time, feel free to come and join the conversation - it's always entertaining!

This group is for anyone interested in non-fiction (current events, sociology, economy, psychology, sciences, technology, ...), including those leaning towards the 'penguin' end of the social spectrum. Let's get socially awkward together, and discuss some great books and topics!

For those who like to read a good book, drink a good beer, and maybe combine the two once in a while. Looking for people interested in laid-back discussions about books worth reading. Focusing fiction and non-fiction, both new and old; authors we've read so far range from Umberto Eco to Robert Louis Stevenson to Sarah Vowell to Yann Martel to Scott McCloud, among others. If it's good, we'll try to get around to it eventually! (At least that's the plan.) Meetings are usually held at Pub Italia, a …
