I want to create a group of readers to meet bi-weekly or monthly to discuss a book we all have choosen to read.

The books will be a variety of fiction, best sellers and non-fiction. Once a critical mass of six or so people sign up, we'll start deciding on when and where to meet and what book to start off with …

Hi All! We all have stories to tell - and everyone loves a good true story (hello This American Life!). The purpose of this meetup is to see if there is any interest in having a public story-telling group, that would meet every two months, venue TBD. The difference between this and an open mic would be that the group would be structured in a two hour format, stories 6-7 mins based on a theme, with the first hour being stories that were previously submitted with a clear beginning, middle, & end. …

I recently watched the film version of Pride and Prejudice, and enjoyed it so much I started re-reading the book and watching other Austen movies, including Sense and Sensibility and the recent "The Jane Austen Book Club." I thought it might be fun to join up with other Austen fans in Jax, and perhaps structure a Book Club similar to the one in the film.

Let's get together for wonderful food and drinks with a spectacular view of the river combined with lively discussions about anything and everything we are reading!

We meet once a month for good food and lively book discussion. There is a new book chosen each month, genre varies.

It's time to take another look at some of those books we read (or pretended to read) in high school or college. If you went to high school in the 40s or 50s, you actually read books!

Then there's all that nonfiction, of course, especially the ones we were supposed to read in history, social studies, anthropology and philosophy classes. I've discovered that now, as a gray-haired grandma, …
