Read. Eat. Discuss. Have fun. Repeat. Food and books--almost as good of a pair as milk and cookies. Or Lennon and McCartney. This is all about getting together with other people who enjoy eating and reading and discussing what makes literature great and any other topics that may come up. With so many books in print it is good to have direction from other avid readers to know what to read next. What better avenue than over a delicious meal at one of SLC's fine dining venues? Classic reading (li …

Do you regret not paying attention during your literature classes in high school? Would you like to read the "classics" and discuss them with others? If so, you've found the right club. We will be reading a wide range of modern, ancient, medieval and contemporary classic books from around the globe! Anything over 600 pages.... we'll probably split into two meetings. Please be sure to read the rules and policies when you join in the discussion section!

I'm a stay-at-home mom who would rather discuss sasquatch, alternative medicine, and the (non?) existence of god than soccer and potty training. This group is for any skeptical-type people willing to read one skeptical or science-themed book a month (ranging from serious to silly--I'm open to suggestions all over the spectrum) and discuss it over snacks and drinks. We'll each have to buy our own books, 'cause the library book group selections weren't chosen for non-fiction readers.

This is a book club for women who want to learn about new subjects, or familiar ones, with the help of other nonfiction readers. Any topic goes, from evolution to eastern religions, and if you're an expert, even better!

Monthly meetings with wine and food would be ideal.

I love to read and I love people! We're hoping to make this a fun book club......no religion, no politics and just meet new friends and enjoy each others company, while maybe reading something we might not have picked up ourselves. I think we all can get stuck and tend to read the same type things. I'm hoping that everyone will come with great ideas and we'll choose some really interesting, mind blowing books! Please come and give a try! I think you'll like us. I know I did the first time I came …

I have wanted to be in a book club for a long time, but cringe when my friends tell me their clubs are reading "Diaries of a Shoppaholic" and the like. I love to read, but feel like I have a more and more difficult time finding books that I really love. I would like to start a group that could meet monthly and, in addition to the typical pick a book, read and discuss, talk in general about books we love and why. Perhaps every other meeting we could pick a book to read that either one member love …

By the time you finish this book, you'll have the power to define a sucess  in your life, the ability to spot potential obstacles to your success, and the tools you can immediately implement to get and protect exactly what you want in life.   We will have fun eat drink and be merry if the you would like.  Its always more fun to learn when you can share with someone else and discuss.  relax and enjoy...

We'll go check out new sci-fi/fantasy movies, talk about shows and books, plan movie nights; and if we're lucky we'll get lost in a wormhole, find a mad man with a box, or end up running from Reavers.

Poetry surrounds us in music, plays, prayer, and some prose. It's the most ancient form of communicating stories across generations. Yet, many of us are intimidated by "Poetry." I don't understand much poetry, but I enjoy it even when I don't grasp it. I find opportunities to discuss poetry in a low key, friendly, intelligent environment to be wholly lacking. Therefore, I reach out to those who might enjoy convivial discussions about poetry of most any form . Perhaps there are others in the Meet …

Talking, being listened to, and listening are states of being on which intelligent people thrive. Over a meal and maybe a glass of wine, things get even better. Today I read Roger Ebert's essay "I do not fear death", finished about a third of Stephen King's memoir "On Writing" and continued to ponder my most recent read "Tom's River" and thought how much fun it would to get together a group of thinkers and talkers (and listeners of course) because after all communication clarifies thought.

How to tap into that creative flow that brings opportunities and joy? It's an ongoing challenge. We all go through inspired and not-so-inspired periods.

You will not only become more confident in your professional calling but you'll find new ways to solve problems in all areas of your life. Plus, it' …

Nice Guys have been conditioned to believe that if they are "good" and do everything "right", they will be loved, get their needs met, and have a smooth life. Sound too good to be true? It is. This belief is a myth, which only leaves Nice Guys feeling frustrated, lonely, and powerless. There is nothing wrong with being nice.  But the Nice Guy does it to seek approval and avoid rejection.  He's a people-pleaser.  He constantly sets his own needs and wants aside, and pretends to be something he's …

“In 1816 Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley visited Lord Byron at his villa in Switzerland. Among other subjects, the conversation turned to the feasibility of returning a corpse or assembled body parts to life. Sitting around a log fire at Byron's villa, the company also amused themselves by reading German ghost stories, prompting Byron to suggest they each write their own supernatural tale. Mary Shelley conceived the idea for Frankenstein and Lord Byron managed to write a short fragment based on va …
