Although gay men now live in the everchanging digital age, few things compare to reading books the way we were taught. How relaxing is it to step away from the computer and lose yourself in a good novel, play or article? Enough blogging, men. Let's read. Let's discuss. Let's explore.

The Queens Literati is a safe haven for avid readers who find themselves searching for a new book or an intelligent literary society. Maybe you're tired of joining group after group, reading the same kinds of uninspired young adult novels that leave you feeling... well, childish. Maybe you're looking for the opportunity to read a challenging book and follow it up with an insightful discussion. Maybe you're a recent Queens transplant looking to make new friends in the area. Maybe the sudden appea …

The Cambridge Book Club is based in Cambridge MA and is unique in alternating fiction and non-fiction reads. Reading selections are based on member suggestions and final member vote. We've been going strong for 2 years and we look forward to reading together and discussing the books we read! All readers, all ages are welcome!

We will read  contemporary/classic fiction and non- fiction about once a month.  The monthly books are selected after the last meeting on an online poll.  Book suggestions for the poll are allotted to those have attended prior meetings.  We meet the last Wednesday of each month.

Once upon a last week, two recent graduates decided they wanted to read something other than romance novels for a change (or not...). So we're starting this group in hopes of finding other people with a passion for reading, and a willingness to embark upon a most ambitious quest: to read as many of the "top 100 novels" as we possible can. However we don't want to limit ourselves to just those - we hope to explore, examine, and be entertained by all different types of genres. There is no limi …

Hello: I am an English professor who has studied and taught literature of the Caribbean Diaspora. I have a passion for fiction novels in particular and would like to find other people who are interested in reading and discussing a range of books from the English, French, Spanish and Dutch Caribbean. We will also explore literature by people of Caribbean heritage (Afro-Caribbean, British-Caribbean, Canadians of Caribbean heritage, and so on). The idea is to gain a sense of the breadth and richnes …

Here's an opportunity to revisit works you may have read in high school or college and to fill in some of the gaps in your literary education. Each month we'll read the works of Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Faulkner, Wharton, Woolf, Nabokov and more. http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/100-best-novels/ From WIKIPEDIA: Modern Library's 100 Best Novels is a list of the best English-language novels of the 20th …

Am I the only person in Boston who will admit to reading trashy romance novels and LOVING them? I've formed this group to find others who share my love and want to talk about the finer points of romance novels (because there are many!) in a fun, fantastically female environment. We'll pick a new novel to read every month, which could be anything from the latest Lisa Kleypas or Christine Warren to oldies but goodies like Persuasion or Rebecca. Join me for some great, though occasionally ribald co …

Do you enjoy reading fiction? We read contemporary and classic fiction and get together monthly in downtown New Haven to informally discuss a book. Group members suggest and vote on the next month's book after each meeting.

A book club for gay men who have always wanted to read Proust's multi-volume novel but were afraid to try on their own. This group is for you! We will meet bi-weekly on Wednesday evenings for 90-minute discussions and to share our insights into this complex work. We will read Proust in translation (rather than in French). Our goal is to make our way gradually through the novel. Experienced readers of Proust also welcome!

We are a speculative fiction book group that meets once a month to discuss a prechosen novel. Founded in 2010, we've taken to Meetups to bring in new membership. Speculative fiction is the overarching genre the encapsulates science fiction, fantasy, horror and any blending of the three. We are open to the public and encourage new members to stop in at any meeting. Meetings are held every third Wednesday of the month. The group is led by librarians Karen Ostertag and Veronica Reynolds. If you hav …

Has a colleague's passing reference to a great writer (Hemingway or Tolstoy perhaps) made you wish you knew his work? Or perhaps you just finished The Brothers Karamazov but have no one to discuss it with? This is a book club for anyone who wishes to read and discuss classics works of the western literary canon. We meet monthly on Sunday afternoons in a Providence bookstore to discuss our chosen book of the month. Our interpretation of the "classics" is fairly strict; we mostly choose books or a …

Each month, we will read and discuss and/or write about a great classic written by various American or European authors. Some of these books we may have read as children or teens, others may be new to us, but all have had a significant impact on readers around the globe and are worth a read, or even a second read. We will meet at a coffee/tea shop or a wine bar each month to discuss the book of the month and share anything we have written about the book, if designated as an optional assignment.

The purpose of this Meetup Group will be to solely read the works of David Foster Wallace. We will share impressions, questions, compare notes, highlights, and read aloud our favorite sections of his books. Support, a meaningful read, enjoyment, humor, and reading community will be at the core of the group's purpose, as we tackle the author's works. This book group is for David Foster Wallace readers in Manhattan and the nearby area. Truthfully, it was my intention to simply join a group dedicat …

A reading group for written word enthusiasts. We meet weekly to discuss fiction, non-fiction, poetry, news print and short works over drinks. New members are welcome to this relaxed reading group.

This is a new book group for lovers of science-fiction and fantasy novels.   We'll be reading widely from both genres, everything from epic fantasy to hard sci-fi. Whether you're new to the genre or an old fan, there'll be something here for you to enjoy! The group meets once a month to discuss that month's book. All meet-ups occur at the Symposium Books in East Greenwich, RI (map). Members will receive a 10% discount when purchasing the books we're reading from that Symposium. Once we have a fe …

This is (an independently run) co-ed Worcester Area (please live within a reasonable distance) group for men and women to gather and discuss gender neutral books. We've chosen a spot you may all know well, to meet once a month, to gather for friendly discussion of club picks, a wine or spirit of your choosing and perhaps some appetizers *we will keep the budget small moneywise*-- you do not have to spend much. We find a book club is best in a quiet friendly setting but one that offers the choice …

We are a book club of women (mostly early 30s, some older, some younger) who have been meeting for about four years, but many of our members have moved out of the City so we're hoping for some new people to join. We usually discuss a book every 4-6 weeks over dinner, and read everything from chick lit to nonfiction; all suggestions are welcome. Please join us!

There are no assigned readings, no assigned themes. Instead, read what you want and be prepared to explain (without spoilers, if it's fiction) what makes it compelling or a door stop. Extra points for dramatic reenactments, diagrams, and remembering what it was you read. If you're planning to attend an upcoming event, please list in the comments what you're reading, so those between books can choose whether or not to join you. The idea is to meet within walking distance of the 1, A/C D/B station …

This is a reboot of a book club I started 3 years ago for women of all ages and backgrounds to read a variety of books. Each member has a chance to present a book they want to read. All genres are welcome. If it is your book, you are in charge of the discussion and choosing where we meet for discussion. In the past, we've met at restaurants, but can meet at someone's home, restaurant, or other venue in the greater Danbury area. We'll meet the 4th Thursday of every month at 7 PM. Meetups are limi …

This is a group for anyone interested in reading, writing, and discussing romance novels. All heat levels are welcome, from high heat, to paranormal.

I plan on meeting once a month in West Haven, CT. We can critique, discuss, share ideas and give our support to each other. We'll be the final test before your book hits the m …

This book club reads popular fiction and non-fiction with spiritual themes, and then meets in fellowship for discussion. Redemption, humanity, freedom, rebirth, nature, justice, triumph, and the mystical are among the many spiritual themes explored. Hosted by Original Blessing: A Unitarian Universalist Congregation in north Brooklyn, New York. All are welcome!

No club, if it wants to survive, can open itself to all comers. Clubs depend on exclusivity; if the conditions of membership aren’t enforced or argued away by the more insincere members, it dies or becomes something only faintly resembling what it set out to be. Let me begin, then, by telling you exactly what I want this club to be. Once a month, Bostonians who enjoy reading aloud great literature will gather at one of city’s premier watering holes to do just that. (Dive bars won’t provide the q …
