This group is for you if you are a non-believer of some sort and would like to meet like-minded people. We'll have discussions on issues of concern to humanists/non-believers, political issues and what's happening in the news/world, book discussions and what strikes our fancy. Participation in activities will also be considered. I'll schedule a meeting after enough people have joined the group.
Meetup details are available only to members.
I am interested in changing the way I think about food and am starting on a journey to read and discuss books that will provide information for thought. My focus is more on healthy living rather than on dieting. The first book, "What To Eat" by Marion Nestle is organized around the layout of most supermarkets. Looking for 6 Boomer Ladies who want to commit to purchasing the book and reading select content for discussion two times a month for five months at local restaurants. We will meet the 1st …

This Meetup group is devoted to people who simply love books and enjoy discussing them. We come together monthly with other book lovers to discuss a pre-selected book but we include time for an open format when you can discuss any book you are currently reading and would like to tell the group about it. Any book is fair game, we just want to know what you like about it and why.

If you are like me then you may have grown up on comics. We have also seen comics expand into movies, games, digital etc. Over the years, I have gone from DC to Marvel, currently a combination of both plus some new comers. DC has quite a few comics’ book stores, but they aren’t the places to sit back and discuss our experience. I suggest getting together at a local restaurant and having an open discussion on classic story lines and new/up to date material. Feel free to contact me if you have oth …

… We pick a new book together and that's fun as well and we don't pick bestsellers unless it's actually a good well, written book that lends to interesting discussion/thought;
(I've been told that makes us different than a lot of book clubs.). Come to laugh, share stories and make new friends!

A small book club for 20-and-30-something ladies and female-identified people to meet once a month and discuss a work of literature--primarily fiction, maybe with an occasional work of nonfiction thrown in. I started this book club for three reasons: 1) I miss discussing books after reading them, the way I used to in school, 2) I'd like to make more friends in Baltimore, and 3) Book clubs are best when they're small, and I just wasn't able to find a small one to join in Baltimore! Join this grou …
We will focus on Medieval English Literature, with occasional pilgrimages to the Continent. All selections will be read in translation, but attempts at Middle English are welcome. Discussion will be patterned after the "Great Books" seminar method (please read). You do not have to have any special knowledge to participate, just enthusiasm, and a willingness to meet the text on its own terms. I will link to texts online when I can, but make sure to bring a copy with you. You should join this …

The Ladies of Leisure Book Club is for women who love to read and socialize. We will meet once a month (sometimes once every two months) to socialize, have fun, and enjoy a meal while discussing the book of the month. To mix things up a bit, we will take in a movie from time to time and discuss instead of a book. I'm inviting you to join us if this sounds like a group you would enjoy being a part of.
Are you the sort of person who naturally asks a lot of questions? Even in your own head, and even about seemingly "obvious" stuff? Do you find yourself brimming with ideas that you'd like to discuss, but can't find anyone around to discuss them with? Are you also interested in understanding the viewpoints of others? If you answer "yes" to most of those questions, then this is the perfect group for you! Everyone is welcome to join, regardless of age, race, nationality, orientation, religious pra …
Cutting edge discussions yet timeless truths! Weary of the "same old same old"? Want to meet very interesting people outside the customary? Well come connect with others who are interested in Socrates Cafe, a philosophical community. Be a social thinker! Our basic guidelines, established centuries ago in Plato's Dialogues, are that all opinions expressed need to be supported by reasons, and that all assumptions need to be examined. Dialogue is not a competition, a sport or debate with winners …
The Great Books Reading Group is not a literature club. It is a discussion group that uses a multidisciplinary approach to learning and exploring the past and present. We are reading from the St. John's College Reading List. As we read foundational texts in the Western tradition, we examine mysticism, history, theology, the earth and physical sciences, mathematics, philosophy and government, as well as art, literature and music.
