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 li …

I just moved to Westchester from Long Island, where there were book clubs galore. I can't seem to find any here. I'm 25 and I wanted to meet other book-lovers around my age in the area. Encompassing a wide variety of genres and authors from children's books to classics, we'll aim to read a new book every two or three weeks. We'll meet to discuss the books in a relaxed informal enviroment. Even though we're a 35 and younger meetup group if you're an older person interested in hanging out with you …

I will also guide the group in their critiques which can be helpful to new writers and new groups in gen …
Meet kindred book lovers in the Rockland/Bergen County area. While we may occasionally read a modern classic (Lolita, Catch-22), we read mostly classic works written before 1950 (check our calendar to sample our book selection). We emphasize novels and plays important within the history of literature or have some historical interest. We have friendly, topical discussions about what we enjoyed, didn't enjoy, and found interesting in our reading while making some literate friends in the process. G …
This group offers a forum for writers to learn and exchange practical information they need to get published. Members gather to ask questions and give advice about every stage of the publishing process, from writing a manuscript to querying an agent to negotiating a contract. While there are many groups for writers out there, most focus exclusively on the craft of writing, while failing to address the practical information that publishers really care about and that can make or break a book deal. …
