This book club is for young women who enjoy reading fiction and want to discuss books with others. Hopefully, the meetups will be a relaxed fun atmosphere to discuss the book, enjoy a coffee, and make friends. The book club will meet about once a month at a member's home, coffee shop, or other venue. We will choose popular fiction books somewhere between real literature and chick lit.

(WE HAVE A WAITING LIST.  See below for details). SFDiscourse is a book club that's been meeting monthly since 2001. Our aim is to keep our wits sharp by reading challenging non-fiction books and having an unstructured discussion about them.  We read contemporary books on topics such as history, science, politics, and social issues.  We're not very serious but the books usually are. We also recognize that since we often read books about controversial subjects, people may really disagree with e …

New to the area or just looking to meet some new people and read some new books? Then this group is for you. We'll take turns meeting at each other's homes or at local restaurants or coffee shops to discuss a selected book of the month.

Each month the book club selects a graphic novel or trade paperback comic book collection and discusses it in depth. Meetings are held at Mission: Comics & Art

This group is for women mostly aged 25-35 (though all are welcome) that would like to read, cook,  and/or walk with a group on a regular basis. We have a book club on the first Tuesday evening of every month that will probably focus on mostly fiction of the chick lit variety, a monthly cooking club, and there will also be a standing Sunday meeting for those interested in walking around Lake Elizabeth. Please feel free to pick and choose what events interest you! *Attendance Policy* We want to ma …

I've been wanting to join a book club for a while, but as a full-time working mom with a 2 year old, it's been difficult to find the "right" book club. Many of the ones I have come across seem to be incredibly structured and inflexible (you MUST read the entire book) in a few short weeks, no NY bestsellers/no chic lit, etc… These are all the types of books I read!So, if you are looking for a book club that does have a heavy emphasis on CHIC LIT, easy/engaging fiction reads (i.e. books like The H …

If you love books and movies, why can’t you discuss both? I started South Bay Books and Movies because I wanted a club where people get together to discuss books and movies. In South Bay Books and Movies we will be spending time discussing fascinating books and movies while expanding our interests and not worrying about the details. We will meet every one to two weeks to discuss our book club selection and every three weeks to watch a movie and discuss it afterwards over dinner or late lunch. A …

Membership in this group is currently closed.   WHO WE ARE We are lesbian/bisexual women in our late 30s to early 50s who love to read, discuss books, cook/enjoy good food, and socialize.

So maybe it's OK if we don't always have time to finish the book... This group is for Moms and expectant Moms in Silicon Valley who want to grow their social circles. I work at Google, and after having our baby my husband and I moved to Palo Alto after a year in London and many years in San Francisco. I'm looking to develop a social circle down South, and I'm guessing there are many other people like me out there! In this book club, we choose a book and a thematically appropriate cuisine (e.g., …

I love reading books don't you? Are you interested in Fiction books or Romances novels?  Looking to share your favorites with others?  Let's meetup and discuss our favorites!    

A book club where the reading list isn't created by Oprah. Do you love a good Space Opera or Cyperpunk novel? Do people give you blank stares when you tell them that you're reading *another* Asimov novel? I like to read Science Fiction and talk about it with other interested Sci Fi fans. So lets read one book per month then we can meet up talk Sci Fi and make friends that read the same books as us.

Join us for discussions on an eclectic mix of fiction and non-fiction books. We meet once a month - usually the evening of the third Thursday - at a member's home mid-Peninsula.   The book for each month is chosen by a mixture of voting and consensus. Our discussions include both the book itself and the issues it raises. They are lively, informal, and respectful of everyone's view. Here are some books that we recently read: - "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley - "The Haunting of Hill House" by …
