The Manhattan Great Books Reading and Discussion Program is based on the idea that by reading from the great books of our civilization and discussing them with other people - sharing your insights and questions - you can reach a fuller understanding of these works than you could on your own. We meet in room 508 at the NY Society for Ethical Culture, 2 West 64th Street at Central Park West (entrance is on W. 64th Street) All are invited who look for a challenging yet satisfying discussion on some …

If you are looking for some new friendships and community with your new found free time, then why not come and share your love of people, books and community with women in a similar stage of life. At this group, we will meet to discuss books, issues that affect us and simply have a great time. This is the first meeting of the group and hopefully we can meet regularly (every two weeks or once a month) and share. Come, learn, and make new friends.
I started Good food, fine wine and great books because all the other book clubs that I've attended did not eat! We meet roughly about once a month to discuss a book over dinner. I try to match the restaurant to the book. We discussed Middlesex over a Greek fare in the Village. We met at a Vegetarian restaurant to discuss a book in which the main character was a vegan. Each member takes turn and picks a book. So we get to read different genre. What could be better than reading and enjoying a book …
This club's goal is to have great discussions on renowned works in both fiction and non-fiction. This would include great works of literature, history, autobiographies, biographies, plays etc. Great books and great discussions are our goal; books that profoundly explore human nature. Especially for fiction it would be great to hear from people who have read the book at different phases of their lives and to hear how their opinions of the book have changed. We will have monthly meeting w …

Ulysses is one of those books that, if you didn't read it in college, you're not likely to ever read it in adult life. So many of us who used to love reading books, maybe majored in English in college, now don't have the time to really read anymore. The purpose of this meetup is simple: Let's read Joyce's Ulysses, as a group, this winter/spring. We'll meet regularly, give ourselves motivation to read the book and discuss it, and get to check it off a list. I've read it twice in college so I can …
… I created this group because you become what you focus on and the people you surround yourself with. I wanted to surround myself with other awesome business leaders and talk about what works. What Meetings Are Like Video or PDF review of key topics in the book (so YES you can learn all you need to know without even reading the book). Attending one meeting will teach you more than reading for hours alone. Discussion of how we've applied key concepts to our businesses (successfully and unsuccess …

This book club will cover great literary works such as Hemingway, Dickens, Shelley, Bronte, Milton, to more recent authors like...humm...let me think--okay---let's face it, English degree = reading lots of dead authors.

All Group Members will have a vote--majority will rule on what we read and watch in what order! Here is a link to the lists: http://www.1001befo …
East Meets West Bookclub, at its core, is a space for spiritual seekers to come together in a very informal setting and explore the many belief systems that have been taught, studied and expounded upon, as a means of deepening our connectivity with a source (or sources) greater than the individual. I am not an expert in any particular belief system, however, I would love to explore the many wonderful traditions, old and new, with the spiritually curious and see where our revelations will take us …
