Comics are brilliant. They are also an overlooked and under-appreciated part of the literary establishment, so we're looking to redress the balance a little. This group will work pretty much like a traditional book club - we pick a new graphic novel or collection every month, read it and meet up for a discussion over coffee or a beer. We're going to try to find the literary corners of the graphic storytelling medium - I'm interested in how art style informs character perception; how panel layout …

This is a group for all those who miss the pleasure of digging into a new book with the knowledge that on the other side of the cover they will have the opportunity for engaging conversation! Prepare yourself for some mid-brow chatter, snacks, and reading. We're aiming for one book a month, democratic voting selection, and wide array of subject matters probably heavily leaning towards fiction. Did I mention the snacks?

Sistah Circle is a group of Fabulous Black Women that enjoy reading and the company of other Sistahs. We read a variety of books written by authors of color and discuss over food and beverages.

This is a safe space. As a member, each Sistah is asked to pay a membership fee of $10 ($11 on Pay Pal) to cover the …

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!

In an effort to create a new kind of book club, this group is dedicated to combining a few wonderful and creative elements: literature, libations, and community. It is my hope that this group can explore a variety of literary works from best sellers to classics as dictated by the group. If you are a 20-30 something, interested in meeting up to discuss books, have good conversation, and perhaps some excellent wine or beer this is the group for you!

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 …

Calling all Southern women living in Boston! Whether you are newly transplanted or well established, I'd love to form a group to enjoy social activities like: dining, movies, reading clubs, discussion, happy hours, exercise, Art & Culture and anything else that sounds like fun!

Might you be up for learning how to play dominoes or catching a matinee? No commitment necessary. Come to one event or come to all of them, and by all means, suggest new daytim …

Looking for a fun, laid back book club without the drama of Poisonwood Bible or the heaviness of War & Peace? We will read chick lit, as well as classics like Emma.

We will also schedule other fun outings as well. Suggestions welcome.

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 …

Meet fellow Sci-fi/Fantasy Fans near you! Come to a local Sci-fi/Fantasy Meetup to have fun talking science fiction and fantasy in literature, media, gaming and art. Go to local conventions, signings, readings, movies, museum shows, science lectures and more! This group is intended to be a friendly social group, with the common thread of Science Fiction and Fantasy.

We are a pretty casual group of ladies who find enjoyment in a good discussion, but as far as book clubs go, we typically do not send out questions in advance or have a concrete schedule as to how each meetup will play out.  Often times, our gatherings are split between talking about the book and talking about life in general.  We respect each others' opinions and encourage open and honest dialogue at our gatherings. We have a wonderful group of regulars, but always welcome new members!  We do …

The purpose of this group is to educate one another about AI and related fields.  We're interested in how machines might be made to "think like people," and what is known about the human mind at a computational level.  Usually we pick books or papers as a starting point for discussion.  Sometimes we have mini-tutorials on AI topics. Anyone interested in studying intelligent machines is welcome.  We have people with diverse backgrounds in AI, neuroscience, and other areas.  Additionally, some of …

What is this group all about? We are a niche writer's group whose members aim to become better social science writers and to see more of our work published. We also like to meet new people and socialize (of course, when we're not writing). Where did the idea for this group come from? The challenge of writing books, chapters, and journal articles for publication can be vexing at times. Too often, our work is paired with the pressure of tight deadlines and the well-known, "publish or perish." I am …
