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 …

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 …

Hi everybody, Started in 1969, The Man Booker Prize is the UK's Pulitzer Prize. The Booker Prize Book Club meets once a month to read and discuss prize winners and nominees of the Man Booker Prize. All are welcome - bring your strong opinions, thoughts, and questions and let's discuss amongst ourselves!! Great way to meet new friends.

… There are two to three selections of readings through the month, and a social gathering. (Please note that you do note have to read all of the books for the month, unless you would like to :-)) There are also special events that you are welcome to enjoy and hopefully meet with other like-minded groups. Come to laugh, share stories, share God and make new friends!

Hello my fabulous book club pals! For those of you who are new-or semi new-just be for warned we are mostly a social club. Yes, we discuss the book but its pretty darn casual. We mostly drink wine and chat our brains off. This club was designed for those of us cool folk who lived in the area and wanted to have pals in the hood. SO far ( for the past year!) we have been SUPER successful at this! SO be ready to laugh your head off and chat and sorta talk about the book. Sometimes I do read the boo …

Looking for people interested in reading books and discussing over coffee and dessert. We are planning on having get-togethers once a month on Thursday evenings at 7 pm at Temptations Cafe in Nyack.   We will have our first meet-up group on Sept. 22.   Hope you can make it.  More to follow...

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 …

At least once a month, we vote on a graphic novel or trade paperback to read. Then we get together to discuss. It's just like a book club, but with comics! From time to time, we'll also have other comic-related events to attend - movies, conventions, and anything else you can think of that might appeal to fans of sequential art. If you're on Facebook, you can join in the group discussion here: http://www.facebook.com/groups.php#/group.php?gid=1676640...

My friend Katie and I started this club to honor the intellectual and the alcoholic in all of us. On the third Wednesday of every month we will meet up at a bar and discuss that month's selection. Pretty straight forward right? At the end of each meeting we will take suggestions for the next month's book and vote on the spot.  The more the merrier btw, so bring along anyone you think would enjoy it :o)

A group for Derusha book and author events taking place on the East Coast. Join to learn about official opportunities to meet the authors of some of your favorite books - and to organize your own book discussions and events!

A Long Island City based book club! We'll pick a book then meet locally to watch the movie once a month. "Never judge a book by its movie." J. W. Eagan    

  When I was looking for members to join an established writing group of which I am part, I found there were many people who wanted a group for the beginning or novice writer. I started this group for those who might be intimidated by authors they feel are further along in their writing. I will be facilitating the group by giving writing assignments and exercises to those who would like them. 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 …

… It is required reading for leaders of the US armed forces in that area. Future Nobel Prize winner? I think so. -Freedom by Jonathan Franzen Much has been written about this blockbuster novel. The main character is committed to ecological reparation and progressive values. His crises of confidence and engagement about his work are provocative, to say the least. -What the Dog Saw by Malcolm Gladwell I am a sucker for Gladwell's stuff. This is a collection of his essays that appeared in the …
