This group is a book club that reads books focused on compassionate living, making the choice to reduce suffering for ourselves and other beings. The choices we make day to day can have effects that we are not aware of, effects that affect the quality of life for all. When we are unaware of these effects, we are unable to reduce cruelty and suffering in the world. This book club is a great place to join like-minded people in our efforts to educate ourselves and explore the factual, philosophica …

This book club is currently closed to new members.

This is a book club for young women (ages 21-41) in the South Metro who want to enjoy talking about literature and life with new friends one night a month. My mother has been in the same book club for 25 years, I have seen how close the women have become from their discussions of novels and I hope this group will evolve into something as fulfilling.

I've been looking to join a book club for quite some time, but I never found one that appealed to me. After a lot of unproductive grumbling, I've decided to try starting one myself. Everyone's A Critic (EAC) is open to anyone who enjoys books and isn't shy about sharing their opinions about said books. I try to encourage a diverse reading selection, so please feel free to offer suggestions (fiction or nonfiction). Members usually send me suggestions and then we do a poll to pick a selection. …

Do you want to meet new girlfriends, but are maybe a bit shy? Do you love to read? Are you looking for something to do besides hitting the bars? Then join this group! I moved from Duluth a few years ago and have a much smaller group of girlfriends down here now. I wanted to participate in something where it's possible to meet other women of the same age group with similar interests, while avoiding the downtown bar scene. And so, the book club was born! If you're 25-35, like great conversation an …

… For a brief introduction to what psychoanalysis is (and how it differs from other types of therapy and psychology), please visit the American Psychoanalytic Association's website: http://apsa.org/About_Psychoanalysis.aspx In general, we devote one meeting a month to a more theoretical article or book chapter and the other meeting to a clinical case example. Although prior knowledge of psychoanalysis is not required, we do encourage members to be engaged, close readers, as the texts can often be …

Our Meetup group is a business book club with a leaning toward technology and culture.  We founded our book club in March 2011, and meet roughly every six weeks to discuss a new book.  Members take turns choosing a book for the group to read.  Our main focus is on the confluence of business and technology, but some books have little or nothing to do with technology, and no technical experience/expertise is necessary to join.

If you're an author of book, whether self-published or traditionally published, this group is for you. It's for us to discuss how we market out books using traditional methods (pr campaigns, book signings, etc.) and online techniques (online ad campaigns, Facebook, etc.). Think of this group as one big brainstorm about book marketing.

Let's get together to eat, drink and be literary! I love to read and enjoy a night out on the town with friends. This group provides a chance to combine those two things.  We will read all kinds of books including sci-fi, murder mysteries, popular fiction and maybe even some classics!
