10 Meetup Groups match “Literature” near Louisville, KY
A lot of great literature, from Homer and Shakespeare to the lyrics of traditional folk ballads, is based (like the scriptures of all religions) on the traditional metaphysical worldview. Traditional metaphysics is not magic or occultism, but mystical philosophy, the kind written by Plato and Plotinus and Shankara and Meister Eckhart and Dante and Rumi and Ibn al-'Arabi. Whole societies the world over used to think this way and base all their art, their literature and the forms of their daily li …
Bloomington's Public Library offers an awesome "Book Kit" where book clubs like this can check out 8-30 copies of any one novel at a time, for distribution and discussion. So I think we should take advantage! I especially like the idea of diversity in reading--as adults we often fall into a favorite type of material, but this could be a chance to really be exposed to literature we otherwise might not have read. I propose we take turns checking out a new Book Kit, so we each have an opportunity t …

This is Louisville's book group for people who are interested in understanding the world and universe around us and within us. We are formerly the Louisville Secular Book Group, and we remain a haven for atheists, agnostics, skeptics, and other freethinkers. If you don't use or agree with any of these labels, you are still welcome to join us! Be ready for lively discussion and challenging thoughts. We also recommend that you join our group on Goodreads to see what we have read in the past and wh …
This Meetup Group began over four years ago and we have been fighting in the Evansville Tri-State area ever since to get an honest and consistent Constitutionalist elected as President of the United States. Our efforts four years ago were focused on building Ron Paul's name recognition locally, and in that effort we focused on holding sign waves, getting on local TV with our issues, and putting important literature in the hands of voters. These efforts were successful in increasing name recognit …

Louisville and Southern Indiana can be a very lonely place for lesbians! Where does one begin to look in this town for new friends? Is there a social club here where we can find friendly, accepting, and intelligent women who are eager and willing to share their lives? I've tried to find it and haven't been successful. Thus, the creation of this meetup group. If you are anxious to meet new ladies and hopefully make new friends, this is the group for you. It's about life experience, everything tha …

This is a meetup site dedicated to book discussion... What will be unique is if you have a book you love and would like to lead it as a discussion just let me know the book.... the date.... and the location and I'll post it for you.

The good news is people will attend the books they like and don't have to a …
