This diverse group meets in the city of San Francisco about once a month. We welcome suggestions and encourage voting about what types of books to read and what types of venues to drink in. (If you decide to join, please check out the polls and vote!) (Polls can be found under the "More" tab at the top, just below our Group Name.) We are very informal, meaning you are encouraged to come to a meetup even if you haven't finished the book, or haven't started it! It's Booze first and Books second, s …

If you live nearby, want to read one book/month and then meet a fabulous, diverse group of smart, funny women to drink coffee/tea/whatever to chat about our book, this might be the group for you. Please: no spouses, no kids, no "I didn't read the book, but I came anyway, pass the bean dip." If your plans change after you've rsvp'd yes, please change your status to "not going." Otherwise, you'll be considered a "no show," which is a drag. After two no shows, you are subject to removal from the gr …

Greetings. There is hardly anything I enjoy more than to read a good book and discuss it among thoughtful individuals! How about you? Please join if you are interested in being an active participant in a book club focused **exclusively** on classic literature, shown on the following lists below, that has stood the test of time. If not interested exclusively in classic lit, if not willing to stick to selections from the lists below, there will not be a match with this group.  The good news is tha …

Have you ever heard of Naked Girls Reading? It’s a group of ladies who enjoy giving readings of various works to a large audience au naturel. The group originated in Chicago two years ago when the founder’s husband caught his naked wife lying in repose focused intently on her book. At that moment, both agreed that there was something amazingly powerful about reading sans culottes. As a PhD literature grad student and a nudist, I have been doing this for years! And now, I think it’s the perfect t …

Crime and Punishment, Anna Karenina, A Tale of Two Cities......this group is for anyone who wants to re-visit classics such as these or explore them for the first time. This will be a casual book club and anyone with an interest in classic fiction is welcome! We will vote on our selection each month (except for the first). This group will not be a formal affair with prepared questions, etc. Instead, we will have a free-flowing discussion about the read over food and libations (if you so desire).

This is a meetup for queer-identifying folks to get together and read books together, talk about them, and socialize. (But we won't discriminate against any straight allies that may want to participate!) Books read  in this meetup group will include multiple genres, and group participants will help decide what books will be read. While it is a queer-targeted book club, we will not be limited to queer-themed material (though such literature will have its place, as few other book clubs will incorp …

So what's the worst part of most book groups? Being forced to read a book you simply don't want to read. And what's the best part: getting all those great book recommendations! In this meet up, we're going to dispense with the book *reading* and go straight to the recommending ... and we'll do it with a game I call the "Book Auction". Each participant brings 2 of their favorite books (1 fiction, 1 non-fiction) -- these can be books off your shelf, or new purchases from a store. At the door, ever …

There are several Meetup book clubs in the East Bay, but many of them are specialized (e.g., women-only, we only read such-and-such books, etc.), or their meetings fill to capacity so fast that I never get a chance to rsvp - so I decided to start this one. I previously participated in a fantastic book club in Chicago, which gave me the opportunity to read some great books that I probably wouldn't have found on my own. I hope to continue that trend here! This is a mixed-gender book club for anyon …

We are a group of 20/30 Something's that will meet once a month to talk about a new book, fiction or non-fiction...anything goes!

Ladies of the Book Club is perfect for queer, lesbian, bi-sexual, open-minded individuals who enjoy reading a variety of books and delving into provocative conversation about characters, plot, parallels to history and society, symbolism, and meaning. We will create a group of people who are excited about meeting monthly to build new friendships through insightful, creative, intellectual, and fun discussions.

Back by popular demand... First, thanks for taking the first step in joining a special group of ladies who love to read, chat, over enjoy a glass of wine. I initially started this group two years ago because I am a book junkie who was looking to join a book club in the area and found none. After a year on Facebook, I decided it was time to take the group back were it all started. We read mostly contemporary lit, but do mix it up every so often with a classic. This is the book club for anyone who …

What: A book club for avid romance novel readers. Meetups not exclusively limited to book discussions. My hope is to get to know new people and building some new friendships (most of my friends are in Europe or scattered across the country). Who: Any avid romance novel reader with an open mind and a sense of humor. Why: I haven't been able to find a book club geared towards romance novels (most exclude them), and especially not in the East Bay. I commute a lot during the week for work, so I woul …

The purpose of this group is to bring together people who are single, over 55, and would love to discuss their favorite, or even someone else's favorite book or movie.  On the way to doing this we could discuss the issues raised in the book/movie, become a community of friends and enjoy each other's company. Any single senior interested in meeting new friends and forming a loose knit community with whom to discuss books and movies should consider joining us. When we live alone, we can't turn to …

This club is intended for those in the Mountain View, Sunnyvale and Cupertino areas who love literary criticism for fiction and creative nonfiction. Each month we'll choose a book to read for the next month. The group will not focus on a single type of literary criticism, but rather on the range of appropriate types. In addition there will be a time during the meeting to express what you took away from reading the book. Depending on the venue for the meeting, we will have different restrictions …

Do you like reading books that will further your personal or professional development? Do you like meeting new people and having a casual discussion over common interests? This is a group for anyone interested in reading books like Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In, Reid Hoffman's Startup of You, or Jim Collins' Good to Great; then getting together, discussing, and selecting the next book. While I've always done this on my own, I feel like it could really enhance the experience to do it with others. Whe …

I've been devouring some really interesting books recently and would love to talk with people about them. Hoping to create a group of people that meets regularly, engages in critical thought and opens up our exposure so that we get people from different viewpoints, or maybe even read contrasting authors at the same time.
