Do you enjoy reading fiction books with nice like minded people....come out and share your reading choices in central North York. The location in mind is both TTC accessible and with free parking. Many live along the Bathurst Street and Yonge Street corridor but north of Eglinton. Why shlep out downtown when you can just come around the corner.

We listen to, perform and write filk, that is, music that has its roots in fantasy and science fiction. Every year we spend a weekend in a hotel in Mississauga singing, listening, making friends and having a great deal of fun. The rest of the year, we get together for music circles, often in people's homes, and occasional concerts and other get-togethers. All skill levels, music styles and acoustic instruments welcome. Listeners highly valued.

Hi Everyone! This group is designed, really, as a meeting place for people who are interested in meeting new friends in Toronto and love to read, or talk about other cool hobbies like makeup and shopping. The Book club will focus on fun and light literature (i.e. if Tolstoy is your thang, maybe this meetup is not?). Books that I have in mind are the Harry Potter Series, the Shopaholic series, and any other fun fiction or chick lit that you might be interested in! Ages 20-30 preferred :)

We are writer's working group with the sole aim of obliterating procrastination and other plausible-sounding excuses. Sadly, there will be no editing, reading, reviewing or critiquing... you'll have to take care of that on your own. We take the ephemeral thoughts and ideas floating around in our minds and forge them into real words either on paper or on screen. It's all about production here. Because as writers, we know that nothing happens until words appear in real life. In concrete terms: Mee …

This group is a book club with a twist. It is a book club for writers. Why are some books popular? What makes them bestsellers? What can we as writers learn from these books? I started this book club because traditional book clubs are too vanilla for me. If you are a committed writer, then this meetup is for you. We meet once a month in downtown Toronto. Other events are scheduled as we think of them. Each month, we will chose a work of fiction and examine it from the perspective of a writer (an …

The main purpose of this meetup is for me to make new friends (hopefully that includes you!). I have attended various meetups and have met many wonderful people and have become close friends with a handful. So this is promising. One problem for me to make more new friends via other meetups is often their schedule doesn't work out for me, and sometimes there is no continuity... you may meet someone interesting and you think you can become good friends but then you don't see them again (or at leas …

This Reader's club is dedicated to reading books written by Canadian Authors. Books will be chosen in advance, so you will have plenty of time to read them. Books will be all genres (but mostly fiction). The only thing they will have in common is that the author must be Canadian. That doesn't mean we'll read only Margaret Atwood or Robertson Davies, but new Canadian Authors. Some will be from smaller publishers, some will be new writers. All books will be available at the book store or library.

We are a group that discusses documentaries. The group would be similar that of a Bookclub but for films, a film club. We'll meet in a Restaurant of choice.

The films we review must be reasonably available I created the non-fiction bookclub for toronto, and discover that many of my members had an interest in Documentaries as well. I as well had an interest in doc's, and thought it w …

“Truly fine poetry must be read aloud. A good poem does not allow itself to be read in a low voice or silently. If we can read it silently, it is not a valid poem: a poem demands pronunciation. Poetry always remembers that it was an oral art before it was a written art. It remembers that it was first song." Jorge Luis Borges This is a meetup group for people who like to read, and be read to. Everyone is welcome!  Bring a passage or two that you like and recite it with the group, then we can tal …
