Having a focused book club is key to attracting like minded people, but who wants to be limited to a specific genre? When I read this month's issue of World Ark, the magazine put out by Heifer international, I knew I found my list. "Heifer International's mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth. By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, [they] empower them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self-reliance and hope. With gifts of lives …

Meet kindred book lovers in the Rockland/Bergen County area. While we may occasionally read a modern classic (Lolita, Catch-22), we read mostly classic works written before 1950 (check our calendar to sample our book selection). We emphasize novels and plays important within the history of literature or have some historical interest. We have friendly, topical discussions about what we enjoyed, didn't enjoy, and found interesting in our reading while making some literate friends in the process. G …

I just moved to Westchester from Long Island, where there were book clubs galore. I can't seem to find any here. I'm 25 and I wanted to meet other book-lovers around my age in the area. Encompassing a wide variety of genres and authors from children's books to classics, we'll aim to read a new book every two or three weeks. We'll meet to discuss the books in a relaxed informal enviroment. Even though we're a 35 and younger meetup group if you're an older person interested in hanging out with you …

Come and meet other book lovers in Fair Lawn! The club is for people who like to learn from the books and understand the deepest undercurrents of the plot and characters’ nature. No books are off limits. Any book is good starting from ancient classics to contemporary bestsellers. If you are fascinated with some book(s), want to share and discuss your thoughts and feelings about it, and potentially learn what other people see in it, please come and meet us.

Do you love books? Have you read something amazing recently but had no one to share it with? Have you wanted to join a book club (like me) only to find they all meet on weekdays making it impossible for you to attend? Then welcome to the Westchester Weekend Book Club! This club will be open to everyone - both men, women, young, old. A common interest in good books is all that's needed. Some great future read suggestions are "The Thirteenth Tale," "Middlesex," Water for Elephants" "The …

Hello my fabulous book club pals! For those of you who are new-or semi new-just be for warned we are mostly a social club. Yes, we discuss the book but its pretty darn casual. We mostly drink wine and chat our brains off. This club was designed for those of us cool folk who lived in the area and wanted to have pals in the hood. SO far ( for the past year!) we have been SUPER successful at this! SO be ready to laugh your head off and chat and sorta talk about the book. Sometimes I do read the boo …

Our book club is devoted to discussing and reading both fantasy and science fiction novels while maintaining a fun laid-back atmosphere. We hope to draw in like-minded individuals that enjoy the imagination and depth contained in such books. This group meets once a month in Manhattan (usually the 2nd or 3rd Tuesday of the month) with the goal of reading one novel in between each set of meetings. Selected books are posted on the wall of our meetup page prior to each meeting. To learn more please …

If you are a Hebrew speaker who loves to read, come join us as we read and discuss Hebrew books and literature. Together we will further our knowledge of Hebrew literature and explore what books are being published in Israel. Our first meeting (to be scheduled) will focus on discussing how often we should meet, what books to read, and so forth. If you're up for the fun and challenge, join our group to get notified of the next meeting. 

Sick of Baby Einstein? Looking for a little bit of adult conversation? Enjoy reading? Then this Meetup group is for you. I am a former high school English teacher who has decided to leave the school classroom for a bit to stay home. I enjoy being home, but I found I really missed talking about books with people. That was the initial impetus for starting the group. I also needed to read something more advanced than Dr. Seuss to ward off brain atrophy (ha ha). We read everything from ficti …

The Jane Austen book Club meets once a month at the Westwood Library. We meet on the second Monday of the month.

… We'll alternate between going out to see new horror flicks, bands playing close by that we might be into, and comic-book discussion groups where we'll all pick up a couple of designated books and talk about them and how cool they are or how hard they blow. The NYCCC or horror cons like Chiller Theatre are also fair game when the time rolls around.  I'd also like to work in some animal advocacy, like going to demos, letter-writing or email campaign involvement, and maybe even leafletting. Initial …
