Meet kindred book lovers in a local Meetup Book Club! If you have a addiction for books you are more than welcome to feed it here. Fiction or non-fiction, paperback or hardcover, it doesn't matter as long as you love to read. Come to laugh, share stories and make new friends! Very relaxed casual atmosphere.

Here's the deal: Every other week, we meet up and randomly pick a "seed" sentence from a newspaper, website, sign, fortune cookie, whatever. Then we write for thirty minutes, using that sentence as the first in the story. After thirty minutes, anyone who is so inclined can read his story out loud and we can discuss. There's a bunch of research that creativity is often sparked by "constraints" (in this case, using a pre-determined sentence) so the intent here really is to spark your creativity. I …

This is a group for women to meet and discuss best-selling fiction (with a little chick-lit from time to time) while socializing with new and old friends in the Uptown area. We'll be meeting one evening a month to drink wine, eat a nice dinner (if you wish) and enjoy some laughs while we discuss our latest book. So take a break from your jobs, leave the family at home, and come join a great group of women once a month for some (hopefully intellectual) conversation and fun!

This Meetup group was founded in New York City by Amy Goldman. When Amy moved from the Big Apple to Big D, she decided to give it a go here. The Dallas Fab Females was founded May 19, 2011. Two short years later, we are 356 members strong and growing every day. We typically have 2 Meetups a month at great new restaurants as well as tried-and-true favorites. We choose a book each month as well, but reading it is never mandatory to attend one of our events. If you like meeting other fabulous women …

We meet the 3rd Tuesday of every month at 8 p.m. in the cafe at Central Market (at Lovers & Greenville) to talk about the articles that piqued each of our interests in the New Yorker magazine issues delivered during the 4 weeks before the meeting week. And you don't have to be a New Yorker to love "The New Yorker." This is a very diverse group that has had about 125 members since its founding 5 years ago, some lifelong Texans and others from all parts. Very informal and informative; everyone …

Laid-back group, meeting once a month to discuss all things writing, publishing, and writing-related. Writing can be a solitary profession and obsession, and it helps to know others who love the written word just as much as you do.

Do you ever read (or listen to) a book and just want to tell someone about it so you can laugh/cry/get emotional over it too? Me too. I love to read. And listen to books. And watch the movies of books that I can't get through. I really enjoying discussing what I liked and didn't like about books with some awesome people! And yeah, occasionally it's fun to talk about the themes and tone and antagonist, but sometimes it's just fun to talk about which actor would play which character in the movie. …

We live in a very promising time. It is also a very challenging time. At least that’s how it looks like to us humans. It’s a time when the human spirit is triumphing and books are being rewritten. Love, sharing & the healing of our fellow man is becoming what is normal. The other side of this coin is a reality full of people who are hurting - who are hurting other people who are hurting. It is causing a great disturbance that is rooted in the spiritual and that manifests physically as war, …

Good people reading good (and sometimes bad) books. I was surprised by the lack of book clubs in Fort Worth, so I decided to start one. We will read a mixture of fiction and nonfiction books and will meet at different locations around Fort Worth until we decide on a home-base location. We will meet in the evenings on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month. One Tuesday will be for discussing the assigned book for the month and the another Tuesday will be used as a "book swap" night. This group is f …
