Join others interested in history and literature for stimulating conversation.  This book club meets monthly and is led by the Museum's Executive Director Mark Rothman.

Who says book clubs have to be held at boring old Starbucks? If you'd like to make a commitment to reading more AND you've been dying to try out some of the fabulous bars, restaurants and cute little coffee shops and tea rooms LA has to offer, this is the book club for you! I'm planning on alternating between American classics one month, to modern literature the next to keep a good balance. This book club IS a democracy though, so all suggestions are welcome and will be voted upon!

Welcome to the Fabulous Divas' Book Club!  If you enjoy thought-provoking discussions, love and appreciate the diversity of Black life and culture, and you are a woman who enjoys meeting new people, then this is the group for you.  My hope is to create a platform that promotes and supports Black literature by all writers, with a focus on celebrated Black authors, such as Toni Morrison, Richard Wright, Edwidge Danticat.  We will be reading fiction and non-fiction books, classic works of the past/ …

We are a group of women who live in Pasadena/South Pasadena, love to read good literature (modern and classics) and enjoy making new friends. We meet each month at a different member's home for an evening of appetizers, socializing and book discussion.  

In 2008, we started as a group of adults who loves all things Harry Potter and realized that we love other geeky things like Lord of the Rings, Percy Jackson, Hunger Games, Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who and much more! We will keep it pure Harry Potter until the last movie but will start integrating new themed meetups later in 2011 to celebrate our other geekulture obsessions. If you are 21 years or older and want to partake of some geeky fun, come check us out at our next meetup! The Los A …

Advice from Cher Horowitz from the classic film Clueless: "You should read one non-school book a week." This advice applies not only to high school girls, but also to lesbians, queers, gay ladies. The LA Gay Lady Book Club is for women who want to read one cool book a month, and we'll be taking suggestions on what to read from the club's members. The books we read may or may not be lesbian/queer themed, but the Ladies who attend probably will be ;) (gay/lesbian/bi/queer, trans family welcome) Re …

The Tasty Book Club pairs good books with good food. We read a variety of genres: silly books, smart books, memoirs, literary fiction and, yes, we even once read a book about werewolves. We pair the book with food or countries that appear in the book. If a book takes place in Greece, we eat Greek food. If we read a book that takes place in the American South, we go for BBQ. And so on. We aim for diversity among our book choices. Everyone is welcome to suggest books, but preference is given to b …

  I started this group because I love reading from Shakespeare, and want to develop as an actor.   We are a Shakespeare reading group which meets at 10 am for 1 hour each Sunday.

The only prerequisite is the desire to develop your skills in reading from the Bard's wor …

I love all kinds of books, but especially Science Fiction and Fantasy. When I finish a really good book, I love to be able to discuss some of the ideas the author introduced, check my understanding of some of the plot twists and character development, and generally just say how much I liked or hated the book. If you would also like to discuss new books, ideas and authors with SF&F fans, this group is for you! Join us each month for a new book, decided by poll.

If one of the many things you miss from college are the class discussions of books that either moved you or that you thought were complete trash then this group is for you! This group is for people who have recently graduated or just people in their 20s or early 30s who would like to get together once or twice a month over drinks or coffee to discuss a book we all read together. First book recommendations are welcome and then we can decide the next book choices at the meetups. I thought this wou …

… (Al-Hashr:21) It is odd that much focus is made on books of scholars and other worldly literature with due attention but less focus is made on the Quran itself. The noble Quran is the literal word of Allah that He revealed as an infallible framework for mankind. It contains instructions and recommendations about all aspects of life and references to the Hereafter. Allah the almighty addressed His messenger Muhammad in the Quran, "...And recite the Qur'an in slow, measured rhythmic tones" (Muzzam …
