Every month we read the best book as chosen by our members. We then meet and discuss them. If the book we chose has been made in to a movie or a play, then we might schedule an additional meetup event.  If you are fond of reading and would enjoy discussing books like Three Cups of Tea, The Help, and The Art of Racing in the Rain, we would love to have you as a member of our group.

It's only been in the last 10 years that I started regularly reading this genre. I know there had to be plenty of people in the Tacoma area wanting to share this passion with a group of like-minded readers. I did not see evidence of a book club Meetup devoted to Sci-Fi and Fantasy when I started looking. So, here we are. If you're passionate about reading and discussing sci-fi AND fantasy books, film and television this is the place for you! Once a month we'll meet to discuss the current book se …

Have you ever walked into Barnes & Noble and wanted to buy a book because it had a cool, interesting or pretty cover? Don't get me wrong, the book has to be interesting too, but I bet most of us have a stack of books at home with lovely covers and now we need some motivation to read them. This is the kind of book club where the discussion only gets rigorous if there was something interesting/relatable/discussable in the book. We don't have a list of questions to read from (although you are more …

Hi, My name is Barbara Nelson and a former English and Art Teacher transplanted from Minneapolis,Minnesota and very interested in all literature and especially classic literature. I am looking to meet new people (women and men--50 and older), who love to read and get together once a month to have some great discussions, conversations and laughter.

Each month, we will choose a new book based upon the curiosities of group members. Selections can range from Steinbeck to Faulkner to Roth, and anything in between. Time period constrictions are not firm, so if there is a book you'd like to suggest, it is of course acceptable. The main objective of the group is to expand interests and knowledge, and hopefully foster interesting conversations with new friends.

We are a group that is founded on the belief that books should be read for entertainment. We want to read and discuss upbeat, fantastic, quirky enjoyable books - not the latest downer tome handed down from Oprah. If you want to read funny, imaginative, quotable books and then rave about how they split your sides, fired you up, or give you weird dreams then this club is for you! Even if the books we end up reading aren't as fun and interesting as we hope - it's better to complain together over dr …

Let's get together and share our interest in The Book of the Month, movies, plays, bowling, quilting, casino shows, and gaming. Share your skills and just socialize, participate in community activities. Have you been sitting in the house wondering what is there to do in this community on a Saturday?

This is a group to discuss current affairs - both national and international.

This is a group for people exploring Apple's iBooks Author software - where technology and creativity meet! At first glance, it appears simple and straightforward but once started, you begin to realize its power and possibilities. Maybe you're a techie with a book rattling around in you, a writer exploring new ways to tell a story, or someone curious about the frontier of interactive books. If this sounds like you, let's get together to build a community to exchange ideas, how-to tips, and disco …

We are not a singles group! This is a group for ladies interested in a lot of everything. Rather than joining tons of groups, join one and get it all. Movies, wine, books, shopping, outdoor activities for just us, and some to include the kids. Some will even include the spouses if we want. I want this group to be just that, a group effort. I want to hear what you are all interested in and then, lets do it! What do you say? Hiking, biking...Ok! Book club, or game night? YES! Pipers Playground wit …

This is a "close reading" book club. It will utilize a different format than most clubs. Most book clubs discuss a book in one session. There are a small number of "close reading" meetups around, in which members discuss a book over a large number of sessions. I am not starting the latter type of group, because I recognize that it will be hard to find time to attend, say, a dozen meetups about a single book. So the format of this meetup will be a COMBINATION of online message board discussion - …

This is a group for meeting to discuss books, preferably in small groups. Anyone can set up an event by choosing the book, a location, and the size they want their group to be. It can be any size but it must be designated it at the start. That way, someone who wants a small group doesn't sign up for a book then end up in a room with 25 other people. The possibilities are endless - a light hearted discussion of a novel with a glass of wine, a serious discussion of a classic over pizza, a dis …

This is a group for those who have taken a keen interest in Dan Brown's series of books which feature Robert Langdon as the Harvard professor of Religious Symbology and all the topics these books have engendered. The novel and subsequent movie "The Da Vinci Code" in many ways has been ground-breaking. It brought to public awareness that various forces ( or historical movements ) have been at odds with each other, and, at the same time share so much, as if there is some symbiotic relationship bet …
