Welcome to the Childhood Nostalgia Book Club! This is a Minneapolis and St. Paul based traditional book club with a delightful twist. Just like most book clubs, we meet in a local Twin Cities venue on a monthly basis to discuss a selected novel while enjoying good company and drinks. However, instead of focusing on the current NY Times best seller, our book club reads a piece that was enjoyed during our younger years. This group is most likely to be enjoyed by women, though any grownup who appr …

We are a diverse group of men and women who meet monthly to share thoughts on the great works that changed the world. Those books offer hope for the 21st Century. Life's too short to read anything less than the best! Join us today.

My husband and I are a couple in our 30s looking to meet friends (couples, singles) over some fun discussions. If you like the idea of being in a book club, but don't have enough time to read the "book of the month," come try this group out! Every month, one "TEDtalk" will be selected (a free internet video ~ 10 minutes from http://www.ted.com/talks) about any of a variety of topics - the meaning of life, science, music, etc. You can watch it on your own before the meetup - or just wait until th …

For anyone interested in discussing and reading great books on politics, technology, culture, and history, this is the club for you! If the meetup gains traction, we'll come up with a system for book selections. For the first month, though, I have gone ahead and picked out "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson. Even if you haven't read the book of the month, feel free to show up and listen to what other people are saying about it.

Book club looking for ladies in their 20's and 30's who love to read! Meetings take place at a bar or restaurant in Minneapolis. Members can grab food or a cocktail while we discuss the book we read.

The original Not Oprah Approved Book Club! Since 2008, we have been reading Oprah shunned books and we would love you to join us! Our meetings and members are quite laid back. If you don't like a book, you don't have to finish it (please give it a try though - first chapter or even first few pages). The meetings are half talking about the book and half catching up with each other. New people are always welcome! Members select books as a group at each meeting. We want your book suggestions. Any t …

This is a group for those who love ideas, culture, great conversations, and staying active all year long. We read works of (primarily) fiction with a strong sense of time and place, ideally written by an author from the locale in which it’s set. Traveling the world in our reading, it seems only fitting that the discussion be also on the move! So we take our conversations out-of-doors for a walk around our wonderful local Twin cities neighborhoods, lakes, parks, etc. and conclude for final though …

I've been looking to join a book club for quite some time, but I never found one that appealed to me. After a lot of unproductive grumbling, I've decided to try starting one myself. Everyone's A Critic (EAC) is open to anyone who enjoys books and isn't shy about sharing their opinions about said books. I try to encourage a diverse reading selection, so please feel free to offer suggestions (fiction or nonfiction). Members usually send me suggestions and then we do a poll to pick a selection. …

A group of people gathering for the purposes of enjoying wine, book discussion, art and literature as well as fine dining.

This is a group for women who want to get together for a variety of activities that, while different in nature, will all lead to self-growth. I envision having a monthly meeting that could start with a book discussion (authors like Eckhart Tolle, Louise Hay, Don Miguel Ruiz, Deepak Chopra, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Wayne Dyer, Bruce Lipton...), followed by a meeting where we go for a hike in the Arboretum, Como Park, Minnehaha Falls or a forest out of the cities. Another meeting might be a meditatio …

Do you want to meet new girlfriends, but are maybe a bit shy? Do you love to read? Are you looking for something to do besides hitting the bars? Then join this group! I moved from Duluth a few years ago and have a much smaller group of girlfriends down here now. I wanted to participate in something where it's possible to meet other women of the same age group with similar interests, while avoiding the downtown bar scene. And so, the book club was born! If you're 25-35, like great conversation an …

This is a book club for young women (ages 21-41) in the South Metro who want to enjoy talking about literature and life with new friends one night a month.
