All the book clubs I've seen have been for moms or people over 35. I'm 24 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 three weeks or so. We'll meet to discuss the books in a relaxed informal environment. Even though we're a 35 and younger meetup group if you're an older person wanting to read more youthful books, I would be willing to make exceptions. Pleas …
If you are looking for some new friendships and community with your new found free time, then why not come and share your love of people, books and community with women in a similar stage of life. At this group, we will meet to discuss books, issues that affect us and simply have a great time. This is the first meeting of the group and hopefully we can meet regularly (every two weeks or once a month) and share. Come, learn, and make new friends.
If you love books, bars, and meeting people from the neighborhood, please join me in starting a new UES book club! The Upper East Side Book and Pub Club will meet every six weeks, have fun and lively discussions about a variety of books (voted in by members), and enjoy and support the local pubs. Both women and men alike are welcome, but you have to live between 59th & 96th Street, 5th Ave & East End. The first Meetup will get things rolling- nail down the first couple of books, collect suggesti …

A book group for people in Sunnyside and Woodside, Queens (or those who want to come here). Any age, any gender, is welcome. This is a group for people who want to meet others every month or two to talk about a book we've all read (or mostly read. We know, sometimes you hate a book and you just can't finish it. Come tell us how much you hated it and why!), and get to know people near you.
I decided to start the group because I cannot find a book club that assigns books that are more to my liking. So I am hoping to find other girls who will enjoy the type of books I love to read. I read both fiction and non fiction, but my main interest is stories that touch upon specific things: feminism, sexuality, mental health, etc. So join my group if you are looking to stay local in Brooklyn, like to drink and like to read.
I want to combine 2 of my interests - reading and wine - so am hoping to start a book club that will meet in our local wine bar once a month. Open to anyone with similar interests that is looking more to enjoy good books, good company and good wine than get too serious about what we're reading!
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.
There are no upcoming Meetups.
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 …

This book club will cover great literary works such as Hemingway, Dickens, Shelley, Bronte, Milton, to more recent authors like...humm...let me think--okay---let's face it, English degree = reading lots of dead authors. But really, let's read everything worth reading. :) This group is aimed at mid-twenties to mid-thirties individuals who like to get together over drinks or a meal and have critical discussions about books. Please read on to find out how we run our book club! Each Meet Up will r …

We are a new book club on LI looking for new male/female members in their 20’s and 30’s. We meet once a month on Sundays to discuss a book that we have electively chosen to read. We typically choose books that are best sellers and/or highly recommended for book clubs. The members that are a part of the group enjoy reading but also have busy lives and we understand if you are not able to make every meeting and/or finish the book in time. If the latter we always encourage you to come because most …
The Breakdown: We read good books. We're looking for other intellectually curious, like-minded 20somethings (a vague guideline) in Astoria (another vague guideline) to read them with us, share some food, drink, and sweet convo. The Criteria For Choosing Said Good Books: Magical language (with a healthy dash of magical realism), fresh voices (love a debut) irreverent to painfully relevant, growing up, growing old, dying, coming back to life, urban culture to Southern idyllicy, savory books that y …

There are tons of book clubs, but I could not find a book club around Brooklyn that explored queer literature. Womp. As a lesbian, I would like to read books with characters and stories that I can empathize with, understand or at the least simply recognize. So I thought, fudge it, I will make my own group so I can explore queer lit. with my queer family. This Book Club will cover queer fiction and non-fiction. Some books will have clear queer main characters, while other books may be more subtle …

I want to have enriching friendships, not just happy-hour socials. I want to be part of a book club that learns and grows, not just reads and analyzes. I want to be active in charitable works and make a difference, not just write a check. I want to have get-togethers with other ladies that are fun, but sometimes include our husbands too. And I want to do all this with like-minded, strong, intelligent woman whom can grow to become friends. I couldn’t find the kind of group I want, so I've dec …
This book club is for fun Whitestone women who love to read fiction and chick lit books and would like to get together to talk about the book and meet new friends.
The Queens Literati is a safe haven for avid readers who find themselves searching for a new book or an intelligent literary society. Maybe you're tired of joining group after group, reading the same kinds of uninspired young adult novels that leave you feeling... well, childish. Maybe you're looking for the opportunity to read a challenging book and follow it up with an insightful discussion. Maybe you're a recent Queens transplant looking to make new friends in the area. Maybe the sudden appea …

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

This group is for those who love reading and watching movies (and eating while discussing them). We want to read great books and watch great films across genres and cultures--and then talk about how they make us think and grow. We will choose books from "1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die" and movies from "1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die." All Group Members will have a vote--majority will rule on what we read and watch in what order! Here is a link to the lists: http://www.1001befo …

Inspired by a recent story in the Wall Street Journal, about a long-running reading group in which the members read books aloud -- 35 or so pages a meeting -- they've read Dickens, Milton, Tolstoy, Faulkner, the Brontes, Eliot, Austen. In addition to the book we're reading (our first is The Transit of Venus), we've begun meetings by reading other short pieces or poems.
