This is book club for people who want to catch up on their modern classics such as Lolita, Catch-22 and On the Road. Book choices will be from the 20th century and on. We have a good group going so far, members coming from all over NYC. You do not have to live in Williamsburg to join! This is simply where the meet-ups will tend to be.

This book club reads popular fiction and non-fiction with spiritual themes, and then meets in fellowship for discussion. Redemption, humanity, freedom, rebirth, nature, justice, triumph, and the mystical are among the many spiritual themes explored. Hosted by Original Blessing: A Unitarian Universalist Congregation in north Brooklyn, New York. All are welcome!

QUBC reviews books from various genres (both fiction and non-fiction). Many of the books reviewed are urban themed. Books are voted upon by club members. Supplementary activities are also incorporated into club meetings on a regular basis. Discussion questions, supplemental materials, and meeting information are maintained on this site. All are welcomed!

Finally... a book club in Williamsburg! We decide on a new book every month- only after polling you, of course. After reading, we'll get together at a local Williamsburg haunt to discuss. Don't worry, we'll come prepared with questions so you won't have to stress over having nothing to say.

I know I can't be the only person in NYC who would loves romance novels. If you read Romantic Times Magazine, dream about going to the Romantic Times Book Lovers Convention, know that Harlequin has an App, follow Smart Bitches Trashy Novels, love Julie Garwood, Amanda Quick, Eloisa James, Lori Foster, Julia London, Stephanie Laurens, Lorelei James, Vicki Lewis Thompson, Linda Lael Miller, Susan Mallery or any author who captured your imagination and made you fall in love with the couple, and you …

A Long Island City based book club! We'll pick a book then meet locally to watch the movie once a month. "Never judge a book by its movie." J. W. Eagan

I have been getting so much out of a certain genre of literature that I decided to see if anyone else wanted to read and discuss them. All of these books are terrific depictions of the journey out of emptiness and back into the vitality of being alive. They always inspire. Anyone who finds the topic of re-discovering spiritual health and innocence, particularly if the starting point is a jaded love for self-destruction should join this meet-up. We'll meet weekly and peel one of these novels apar …

This group offers the chance to meet other literary Anglophiles and discuss the best writing from across the pond. We'll start with some mid-20th century classics by Kingsley Amis and Graham Greene, but I'm open to Brit lit of any era and genre. It should be a bloody good time. Meets at 3 p.m. on the third Sunday of the month, at Word Bookstore in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. All book picks are 10% off during the month before the meeting. For updates and discussions, please join our Facebook group.

This is a book club for people interested in Korean and Korean American Literature. I hope to meet once a month for two hours. We will read works by Korean American authors, Korean authors in translation, and even works by non-Koreans about Korea.

Meet kindred book lovers in a local Meetup Book Club! We read Classic literature, and meet in a great bar in Williamsburg-- don't worry, we're about a 10 minute subway ride from Union Square, so Manhattanites (and those from other boroughs) are welcome!

Remember when you were a kid and comics were awesome? Well they still are. Actually, they're much better now. If you don't already know that then you need to come to the next Meetup. We're going to use this group to explore all genres for comics, trade paperbacks, and graphic novels and then discuss them over a few drinks.

We are a group of women and men (30s, 40s, 50s) who plan to meet together socially, for dining, conversation, coffee, movies, book reviews, etc. You don't need to live in Middle Village or Forest Hills to join, only to want to attend events in these areas, or surrounding areas of Queens.

This Meetup Group is for people with an interest in all-things-science to get together, and not just on Saturdays. Maybe you often find yourself starting to tell a science-related story at a party, only to trail off awkwardly when you realize that you're not as clear on the details as you thought. Or your friends are hinting that they'd really rather not hear about Planet Earth anymore. Quite possibly, while others reminisce about Saturday morning cartoons, you fondly recall watching Mr. Wizar …

We are fans of all things in the horror genre. We do movie screenings, horror themed plays, tours, readings, discussion sessions, etc.

This group is for Black conservatives in New York City. Regardless of your party affiliation, if you are tired of the big government, out of control spending, highre taxes, the liberal press, white liberals playing us as nothing but "victims" and the Obama/Pelosi/Reid do-nothing Congress then this is the group for you.

The purpose of this group is to meet other people who have a similar interest in checking out Trinidad's Carnival in 2013.  The summer is quickly approaching and reservations need to be made.  The cost of everything increases, and the availability of costumes and accomodations decreases the closer we get to the end of the year.  If you've heard about it from someone who actually went, it's sooooo much fun...so maybe 2013 is YOUR year to go! Let's meetup and see if we can assist each other in our …

Comics for Bitches is an inclusive environment for women, queers, and feminists to gather and discuss comics and graphic novels in an open non-judgemental environment. We began as a group when we discovered we all loved the medium of comics but mostly read them on our own. We hope to foster a community of graphic novel reading that inspires us as creatives, readers, hobbyists, illustrators and writers. CFB is meant for women of all gender expressions and types. We are focused on creating an envi …

If you want to live a more fulfilled life, first you will want to know your potential, who you really are. Meditation is the route to that knowing. It is the methodology of the science of awareness. Many meditative techniques require one to sit still and silent. But for most of us accumulated stress in our bodymind makes that difficult. Before we can hope to access our inner powerhouse of consciousness, we need to let go of our tensions. Osho Active Meditations have been scientifically designe …

Are you a working professional or college student who prefers the company of other geeks? Do you find yourself frequently wishing there was some sort of watering hole for people like you who watch Adult Swim, revel in the joys of DDR/video games, read esoteric books, and indulge shamelessly in intelligent debate? Do you hate hipsters with an undying passion? Do you need people to drink shamelessly with in order to summon the courage to get on stage to croon in front of a large crowd of karaoke g …

We are passionate writers looking to meet other passionate writers. Our group loves to have fun and our atmosphere is warm, welcoming, playful - at times even silly. At the same time, when we get down to it, we offer sincere feedback, trying to improve each other's work. We believe that to give good feedback we have to tell the writer what worked well first, what moved us, what inspired us, what made us want to punch something or someone. Then, we talk about what can be improved. The environment …

The daily lives of most of us are full of things that keep us busy and preoccupied with mundane concerns. We miss the sacred, so every now and then we find ourselves drawing-back and wondering what is it all about. And then. perhaps we may internally begin exploring perennial questions that we don't normally stop to examine. This can happen with regard to any aspect of our lives. This study group is deliberately designed for those among us who are curious, enthusiastic, non-judgemental, and wond …
