Benjamin Franklin once quipped that a person should "Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing." Classics are considered such for a reason; they contain a literary currency that other works do not. This book club is your chance to sit down and finally read Anna Karenina, Don Quixote, Pride and Prejudice or somewhat forgotten classics and/or modern works of similar worth. The books can span any time period or place, and the reading list is always open to growth or suggest …

This book club is for anyone who loves to read modern thrillers and mysteries. Bring on the action, the serial killers, the kick-ass detectives and FBI agents -- both male and female.

But if you can't wait for the next Michael Connelly, Laura Lippman, Nelson DeMille, Karin Slaughter, Jeffery Deaver, Gillian Flynn, Jo Nesbo, or Linda Fairstein, please join us. We'll meet the first Thursday of the month at …

For truth seekers of both the Urantia Book and ACIM (A Course In Miracles) and how these two works share similar information, and how both of these works came about. Usually the Urantia org. recommends that each member has read the book, before getting involved in a study group. ACIM has always been open to all comers. I propose meeting on the second Sunday of each month between 2 & 4p.m. A little about me, I've been a life long seeker and am still seeking, these two books have had a profound im …

(I always like to do both, read and watch, but the choice is yours! :)) Some of our meetups happen in restaura …

I'm looking for a small group of people who would like to read contemporary books in the Italian language. Examples are Senza Sangue by Alessandro Baricco or Io non ho paura by Niccolo' Ammaniti.  We'll focus on short books of 150 pages or less. If Italian isn't your native language you need to have at least a year of formal Italian class but preferably two years and be at the low intermediate level (A2-B1 in European language terms). Native speakers are welcome. Because novels often speak of th …

Since there is such a high demand for the "Chick Lit" Phoenix Book Club, I thought I would start another chick lit group in Scottsdale. This group is for women who enjoy the occasional "Sex and the City" type book. What woman has not found herself at least drawn into the television show?!? "Chick lit" is a term used to describe a genre of fiction that is written and marketed to young women.
