Meet kindred classic literature aficionados in a local Book Club! Our focus will be classic British literature, primarily 19th century. From the genteel elegance of Jane Austen's world to the seamy underside of Arthur Conan Doyle's and Charles Dickens' London, we'll read and discuss it all. Henry James, William Thackeray, the Brontës, Thomas Hardy, Lewis Carroll, G. Bernard Shaw, and Oscar Wilde are just some of the many other authors from whom we have to choose. For comparison, we also may read …

This book group is a lot of fun, very democratic and full of interesting women. We have read fiction and non-fiction. The selection typically ends up being a recent book although we are always open to suggestions! Please join us and be a part of the discussion!

We read a variety of interesting books and have good conversations, enjoy great food, and get to know others. We meet on the fourth Monday of every month, choosing different restaurants in the area where we can relax and chat about good books.  All members contribute suggestions for books and restaurants, so no one is left out!

Welcome to the Mommy Needs A Glass of Wine SAHM'S Group. The purpose of our group is for Moms to form a close-knit circle of friends who live in Charlottesville and surrounding areas. We are looking to make lasting friendships for our children and for ourselves and to provide each other with the support Mothers need, especially on those days when a glass of wine would seem helpful! ; ) Our group is a smaller group of around 25 members and is geared for babies around the same age: born after July …

It's not your grandma's book club. It's your New York Times Best Sellers Nonfiction book club, with discussions during happy hour.

We like to read obviously. I started this group because there was a book club group that seems to have fizzled out a bit but there were people who were still interested. I've never been in a book club before but I figure a bunch of strangers could be in the same room and talk about a book without any problems, am I right? I like the idea of meeting in a public place so folks can get something to eat or have a few drinks. Anyone is welcome to join provided they like to read. If nothing else it's …

If you enjoy Christian authors or reading books of inspiration, hope and religious relevance, then this book club is for you. In the true spirit of Christ, we welcome a diverse group of Christ-minded people of all cultures and ethnic affiliations. Both Fiction and Non-fiction books can be a part of our reading list. We'll spend some time chatting and a little time chewing. If you are interested in being part of a great group of people, let us know.

The purpose of this group is to give those who love to read, but who may have a different schedule than the regular 9 to 5, a book club of their own. I (the organizer) have an unusual schedule and cannot be part of a book club that meets in the evenings, though I love to read and am very passionate about books. So I decided to start a book club of my own. We will meet once a month during a week day. Once I get enough interested people, perhaps we can decide on the day that would work best for ev …

As a new Momma-to-Be, I'd love to meet other Mommas / Mommas-to-Be in the area. Every Momma needs a little "me time." What better way to relax than with a book?! I'd love to invite all of you into a monthly book club, where we can discuss recent reads, vote on upcoming reads, chat about all the great (and sometimes not so great...) things about being a momma, and just get in a little R&R before heading back into our hectic lives of motherhood. Depending on the size of the group, we can take turn …

I’m starting this group because (1) I enjoy reading military history and (2) I enjoy discussing books with smart people. I’d like to meet people with broad interests in military history who are willing to read and discuss books spanning all of human history, rather than a narrow focus on one conflict or era: there is something to be learned from any war, I think. We will meet once a month, to discuss the book we'd voted on. Ideally, one or two persons will serve as primary discussion leaders: p …

A book club for progressive, liberal women of the New River Valley. We offer a monthly book club meeting (the 3rd Thursday) for women to kick back enjoy some good conversations and a big glass of wine. The goal of this group is to create a community of like minded women that stretches beyond a basic book club. (In the future we'd like to add other events such as dinners, movies, local author events, etc.) We will rotate hostesses each month and meet in that persons home to give a more personal f …

This group started out as a traditional book club but I discovered quickly that fun people don't particularly like homework to do before being social. So I developed a book club for people who don't have time to read the book but like to get together with friends and talk about...well...books. So now you have the option of reading the book ahead of time and then seeing the movie with friends or simply seeing the movie with friends. Either way after the movie we go to dinner and discuss. If you'v …

This is a group for anyone interested in all things geek.  Geeks of all ages are encouraged to share their love of spaceships, wizards, and superheroes by watching movies, reading books, attending conventions, and generally encouraging nerdy behavior when at all possible! Do you have more superhero t-shirts than Sheldon? Have you personally tested the validity of the warning "Not intended for actual combat" on a lightsaber toy? Do movies with spaceships make you happier than a tribble in a bin …

This club is designed to be a bit different from the usual book club. Rather than assigning a single book for each meeting, I'll assign a theme or topic or genre or author and let each member choose a relevant book for herself. It may be a book you know and love or something new to you. The advantage is that no one ever has to read a book she doesn't like, yet everyone will arrive at the meeting ready to say a few words about her book and to join the general discussion. And everyone will hear ab …
