Join the NYC Bookclub for casual and fun book discussions. We always meet on the Upper East Side (UES). We like to spice it up a bit with some fun events like movie discussions related to a book we just read, listen to authors speak about their work, and other fun stuff! We are open to suggestions for books and events. The idea is to explore different genres and have fun.
Read a good book. Meet new and interesting people who've read it too. Feed your brain...and your stomach. For a list of our past reads, please see the calendar or the photo album. Our focus is on finding worthwhile literature and still covering a variety of eras, countries and fiction (and once in a while, non-fiction) genres. We try to find books that are a manageable length (200-350 pages) and that make us think. (Our members are well-educated, but note that the majority of us do not have E …

FUN Ladies between the ages of 25 - 40 living within 5 miles of Hoboken who enjoy curling up with a good book, good food, and good wine. There are 2 meetings per month to accomodate as many members as possible. There are no rules to the book club portion, it's just an open discussion about what we loved or didn't love about each book - so it won't be like an AP English Lit class by any means. Cooking themes are inspired by the book itself and everyone brings a bottle of wine to the hostess's h …

Each month, we will read and discuss and/or write about a great classic written by various American or European authors. Some of these books we may have read as children or teens, others may be new to us, but all have had a significant impact on readers around the globe and are worth a read, or even a second read. We will meet at a coffee/tea shop or a wine bar each month to discuss the book of the month and share anything we have written about the book, if designated as an optional assignment.
