Hello fellow readers! I am looking to start a small bookclub for people in the Salem, MA area who enjoy reading classic literature. I'm looking at authors such as: Austen, Dickens, Woolf, O'Conner, Kerouac, Melville, Hurston, Faulkner, Nabokov, Dostoyevsky and more. Group will meet on the first Thursday evening of the month with an occasional exception to the second Thursday. Meetups can either be at people's houses, or somewhere local with drinks and food, (depending on people's preferences and …

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 …

This is an informal book club/friendly discussion group/possible vocabulary based trivia game with no rules or point(s). Some books that might be read include Patricia Highsmith's Ripliad, Judith Jesch's Women in the Viking Age, Donna Tartt's The Secret History, and Robert Cormier's The Chocolate War and/or Beyond the Chocolate War.

Calling all female book lovers! What could be better than to to settle in with a good read & share with the group over dinner and drinks. We wine, dine and discuss great novels !!  Remember: Life is short, get out and socialize and have fun!  I found a great idea for a book club for women that we all can love! We are a great group of diverse women who have lively discussions about the books we read while enjoying great food and a glass of wine (or whatever your particular poison might be).  We m …

Hello all, have you ever finished with your Doctor Who cosplay group or your magic gathering and thought 'what would make this better would be a nice tall glass of beer'? But when you suggest it, you receive death stares from your fellow nerds? Well no longer, because this group is for you. Those who enjoy talking about scifi/fantasy, video games, comic books and computers all over an ice cold pint, please feel free to join me!

This is (an independently run) co-ed Worcester Area (please live within a reasonable distance) group for men and women to gather and discuss gender neutral books. We've chosen a spot you may all know well, to meet once a month, to gather for friendly discussion of club picks, a wine or spirit of your choosing and perhaps some appetizers *we will keep the budget small moneywise*-- you do not have to spend much. We find a book club is best in a quiet friendly setting but one that offers the choice …

We have anime nights, gaming nights, movie nights, conventions we attend together, Renaissance Faires, costume parties and so much more. We've also had more outdoorsy events such as kayaking. If you live in the greater Boston area and want to meet people with similar interests, then join our group and …

This group was created for women and men who are mostly divorced or single, over 40 and who would like to meet new people and expand their friendships. About me: I am divorced and in my mid-forties; I grew up in Norwell and have lived in different areas of Massachusetts before landing in Kingston, where I currently live. Being new to Kingston and working for small local IT company as a marketing writer and office manager, doesn’t offer a lot of opportunity to meet new people in my age group to d …

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 …

This group is for those that want to meet new people with or without their dogs. If there is a dog socializing event, all size dogs are welcome as long as they are not to aggressive. If there is a non-dog event, we can go to dinner, grab drinks, read books, pretty much anything. I would love suggestions from members as to things we can do in this area. I would not mind going to Boston on occasion, but prefer being in this area. So, if you would like a gym partner, book club friend, wine tasting …

What is this group all about? Our members aim to become better writers in social scientific disciplines and to see more of our work published. We also like to spend time with others in a lively social venue where we can share good times, good drinks, and good food. Where did the idea for this group come from? If you're like me, the challenge of writing books, chapters, and journal articles for publication can be vexing at times. Rather than succumb to the pressure, I thought it would be better …

I am a piano player, levels One & Two. I have a Yamaha Arius Electric Piano in my living room. Would like to start a social gathering for nice people to bring their piano books; tell us the pieces they are playing and their years of practice. And then play the piano and show the happy group their talents. We can also have drinks and snacks. We can watch a RCN Tivo video of talented piano players; their are a few with young children doing a great job playing high level piano pieces. I would be pl …

When I moved back to New England after several years of living in NYC, I noticed rather quickly that Boston was very different and for some reason, it was much more difficult to meet people here, even though, I was originally from here. Needless to say, it was quite different than what I was use to. I belonged to a similar group in Manhattan. And, what began as weekly brunch quickly grew into monthly movies, five mile Fridays (long runs in Central Park), Sunday afternoons at our fave neighborho …
