I have wanted to be in a book club for a long time, but cringe when my friends tell me their clubs are reading "Diaries of a Shoppaholic" and the like. I love to read, but feel like I have a more and more difficult time finding books that I really love. I would like to start a group that could meet monthly and, in addition to the typical pick a book, read and discuss, talk in general about books we love and why. Perhaps every other meeting we could pick a book to read that either one member love …
Do you regret not paying attention during your literature classes in high school? Would you like to read the "classics" and discuss them with others? If so, you've found the right club. We will be reading a wide range of modern, ancient, medieval and contemporary classic books from around the globe! Anything over 600 pages.... we'll probably split into two meetings. Please be sure to read the rules and policies when you join in the discussion section!
“In 1816 Mary and Percy Bysshe Shelley visited Lord Byron at his villa in Switzerland. Among other subjects, the conversation turned to the feasibility of returning a corpse or assembled body parts to life. Sitting around a log fire at Byron's villa, the company also amused themselves by reading German ghost stories, prompting Byron to suggest they each write their own supernatural tale. Mary Shelley conceived the idea for Frankenstein and Lord Byron managed to write a short fragment based on va …
Looking for people interested in starting a fantasy book club in the Salt Lake area. Love fantasy? Disappointed that you don't have a group to discuss favorite books with? This is the place for you! Please contact me if you have questions.
I'm a stay-at-home mom who would rather discuss sasquatch, alternative medicine, and the (non?) existence of god than soccer and potty training. This group is for any skeptical-type people willing to read one skeptical or science-themed book a month (ranging from serious to silly--I'm open to suggestions all over the spectrum) and discuss it over snacks and drinks. We'll each have to buy our own books, 'cause the library book group selections weren't chosen for non-fiction readers.
I decided to form this group because there are not very many book clubs on Meetup for the SLC area. For now I do not want to limit the club to a certain type of book. Instead, I would love to open it up to fellow members as to what genre of fiction or non-fiction they would like to discuss. The book selection will always be through polls. In summary, if you love to read and would like to meet other ladies to discuss the book of the meeting (but I certainly wont be keeping us on topic), please jo …
Pretty much if you like Star Trek, you are going to love this group. Meet ups for Food and watching Star Trek, and maybe going to Star Trek Conventions! Wouldn't that be so cool
I love to read and I love people! We're hoping to make this a fun book club......no religion, no politics and just meet new friends and enjoy each others company, while maybe reading something we might not have picked up ourselves. I think we all can get stuck and tend to read the same type things. I'm hoping that everyone will come with great ideas and we'll choose some really interesting, mind blowing books! Please come and give a try! I think you'll like us. I know I did the first time I came …
Anyone out there North of Salt Lake who really loves to read? If so, come join me in sharing the books you love, finding new books to love, and probably sometimes hating a book or two. Join now for monthly meetings to discuss previously agreed upon titles in locations that we love. Perhaps a nice chat at the coffee house or local park? All suggestions welcome. I love reading and would love some new friends to read and chat with!
We are a group of peeps in Provo, UT who meet together to form writing groups for purposes of participating in the 2013 online Brandon Sanderson Science Fiction and Fantasy Creative Writing class. We write. We critique. We lay waste.
Do you keep a running list of books to read? Does the phrase "Library Book Sale" give you goosebumps? Do you also enjoy the occasional adult beverage? Then this is the place for you! The goal of this group is to stimulate engaging conversation about books and meet other avid readers. Book choices will typically be contemporary or classic literature, but other genres will always be considered. It is suggested you read the assigned book before the meet up, but if you just want to come and hang out …

We are sci-fi lovers of all kinds getting together to have fun, get geeky, and meet new people. We'll go check out new sci-fi/fantasy movies, talk about shows and books, plan movie nights; and if we're lucky we'll get lost in a wormhole, find a mad man with a box, or end up running from Reavers. Join us for some out of this world fun!
There are no upcoming Meetups.
This group will be for master fiction writers, by which I mean writers with extensive experience and/or training (MFA or equivalent, literary publishing creds, etc.). I'm hoping for a small but dedicated group of writers looking for a writing group. The purpose is to share work and get feedback. And to give each other motivating deadlines!
