The New York Review of Books has a Book Club selecting a fiction classic each month. I'd like to get together with other displaced Easterners (or those in spirit) in the La Jolla area once a month to discuss the latest NYRB selection - accompanied by California wine, to be fair to both coasts.

This group is for dedicated readers and knowledge seekers who want to learn more about the world we live in. Knowledge is, after all, power, and having facts and figures to back up arguments is never a bad thing. Ideally this group will meet once a month too discuss a book of the month. We can read both fiction and non-fiction, and the literature we read need not be political. The overall aim of the group will be to enrich ourselves with knowledge and get together to share this knowledge.

OK, so coffee is optional. But if you love books and live near Del Mar / Carmel Valley (or are willing to drive to Del Mar / Carmel Valley), let's get together and talk about books! I tend towards non-fiction / fantasy / young adult fiction, but am happy to broaden my horizons.

You will be able to RSVP for our events 1 week prior to them. Meet kindred book lovers in a local Meetup Book Club! Fiction or non-fiction, paperback or hardcover, you'll read a new book every month. Come to laugh, share stories and make new friends! Each month we will select a book that takes place in another culture (or American subculture) and meet in a cafe or restaurant (in the SD area) connected to the theme of the book to enjoy food and discuss the book. Come to laugh, share stories and …

East Hell Writers has a special place reserved for you...er...your written voice. Join our critiqued read and respond sessions. If you have a story to tell, we'd like to hear it! We meet all but the third Tuesday of the month here at my place.

Love to write? Of course you do. Like to perform? That's a rhetorical question. Want to share your stories with other writers? Why am I even asking? Dime Stories are 3-minutes stories (prose, not poetry) read by the author. They’re funny. They’re heart-rending. Fictional or factual, they’re always true. Bring your Dime Story to read to a live audience at any of our open mics. Beware: Three-minute rule (that’s about 500 words) is strictly enforced. Since before 3-Minute Fiction on NPR, Dime Story …

Shut Up and Write! Meetup is a venue for writers to work in the company of other writers on a regular basis. Writing, whether approached as a profession or as an avocation, is an isolating activity. We provide this forum, writing resources and meeting times as a method of developing a community of creative people. We welcome people who are serious about ‘writing down the bones’ and are looking for the companionship of other writers. Meetup Format Making the time to write one hour per week is an …

The San Diego Writers group is for anyone who shares an enthusiasm for writing. Our focus is on writing, reviewing each others work and motivating each other to get our projects done. If you are looking for honest and helpful critique of your writing, this group is for you. If you are unwilling or unable to  handle honest and constructive feedback of your work, this group is not for you. We meet six times each month in San Diego!

I am looking for a few good readers to engage in great conversation over a nice glass of wine. I would like to read all sorts of books from fascinating fiction to noteworthy non-fiction. In other words, I like to learn about new topics, but I also love to discuss human nature as presented through cleverly crafted novels. I expect that our chosen books will sometimes be central in the discussion, and sometimes will be touchstones for other interesting conversations. The group is open to any free- …

Greetings! Welcome to the Active Lifestyle Nerds Meetup community. This meetup was designed to bring out your inner-nerd and introduce it to other inner-nerds around your area---with a slight twist. Let’s face it, the average person in a bar, club, or other common area where people socialize, often lacks the level of nerdism needed to have a good Fire Fly conversation or a discussion of “who shot first” (it was definitely Han Solo, folks). This group is designed for the person that loves techno …

The San Diego Women's book club is designed for women in San Diego to be able to get together once a month to discuss good books. The goal of the book club is to have FUN, expand our horizons, and exchange ideas with other interesting women! It is so EASY to get busy with our careers and our families, that reading for pleasure takes a back seat. With the San Diego Women's Book Club, you can treat yourself and make sure that you are reading at least 1 good book a month. The best part....? You can …

NLPToday goal is to attract a group of people committed enough to themselves and finally not having an excuse where their business is, because together we are going to collaborate to get you to higher ground. Many people are interested in using NLP in their roles as coaches, business and sales people, and therapists. From the mid 1980's NLP has amassed a very large number of tools and approaches. It is not a single theory. It draws from any successful person or practice that it can "model." Over …

Poe, Orwell, Dickens, Wilde, Holmes, Steinbeck, King, Hemingway – sound interesting? Welcome to The Classics book club. Join me in diving into many of the great authors of the 19th, and 20th centuries. If you love great literature, join us for our monthly book club discussion so we can revisit (or even explore for the first time) some of the greatest literary works history has to offer.

I love to read. I also love to dine out on Sunday mornings - breakfast, not brunch. On the 4th Sunday of every month, members of the group will meet for breakfast at 9:30 a.m. to discuss the book chosen. The new book for the next month will be announced at the current meeting.  There will be a $1.00 charge per member for each meeting which will be collected at the meeting.
