Hi there! I want to start a book club that focuses on non-fiction reads -- mostly what I tend to read are books about health and wellness, travel, animals, biographies, business, and in general, real things. I feel like I am alone out there, because every other book club I see is totally based on reading novels and other works of fiction. Unfortunately, it is rare for me to really enjoy a novel! I would love to see if other people in the area are interested in reading about the "real" stuff and …

This is a group for anyone who finds themselves writing and reading and wants to share their enthusiasm with others. I envision meet-ups where we share and provide constructive feedback on each other's work, perhaps have assignments where we write in a certain form or on a particular subject, and maybe even share our work with the general public on occasion. Other ideas include having a monthly first edition book club, going to see movies with a literary theme or texture to them, and going to au …

This is a group for all those who miss the pleasure of digging into a new book with the knowledge that on the other side of the cover they will have the opportunity for engaging conversation!

Hard to believe there is no scifi/dork meet up within 50 miles of the UpperValley NH/VT. I'm starting this group until someone tells me I'm wrong and where to go to meet all the Doctor Who, Asimov, Whedon, DUNE, Eureka, SciFi Etc. folks.

The purpose of this group is to read and discuss a range of different books. The other purpose is to cultivate friendships through the discussions and share a conglomeration of our individual knowledge on book topics. Most of the books will follow a current related to sustainability, the environment, nutrition (books like the Omnivores Dilemma), farming, and organic lifestyles. However I also have been reading a lot about Tibetan Buddhism (Pema Chodron) lately and have wanted to share thoughts a …
