Boston's monthly book club featuring literature by and/or about gay men.

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 a group for all who are interested in the philosophy, literature, culture and art of Ancient Rome and Greece. We will discuss and share any of the above at our meetings, which will occur in Westchester County or Manhattan.

This is a book club for people who are open to reading many different types of writing. I'm starting this group because I haven't found one that was open to various types of literature. We'll meet one a month- the third Thursday of every month, at either a member's home or a local place. I'm really looking forward to discussing books with everyone.

I started this group because I love to read Sci-Fi and Fantasy books, but I rarely have anyone to discuss them with. I've only been in CT for a few months, and I would love to meet like-minded individuals that I can have fun with and also share my love for the fantastical.

Creative writing is exciting. We are more likely to grow as writers, both in the enjoyment of our craft and in our productivity, when we are in community with other writers. Writing does not need to be lonely and unproductive, but should be an fulfilling and liberating form of creativity and self-expression. As a member of The Writers' Workshop, you can belong to a community of fellow writers who will encourage you in your craft.  Each writer should come to each week's writing session with a pen …

Raw Food Central became a vision of founder Curtis Griffing over 30 years ago when he overcame a severe case of rheumatoid arthritis by adopting a 100% raw food diet and lifestyle. Doctors gave him no hope for a cure and promised him a future with artificial joints. "A lot of suffering was endured until I came across the truth about raw food along with a healthful lifestyle". Curtis continues to enjoy a 100% raw food diet and wouldn't have it any other way. Curtis was mentored by some of the bes …

The first rule of the Cult Fiction Club: you do not talk about the Cult Fiction Club. What is a cult book? 1. A book that is not a bestseller, or has been out of print for some time. 2. A book that inspires a small but vocal following. 3. A book that touches on topics that are in some way unusual, different, outre, even dangerous. 4. A book that inspires change, thought or action. 5. A book that is, above all else, well written. Every month, The Cult Fiction Club selects one book fitting all or …

Once upon a last week, two recent graduates decided they wanted to read something other than romance novels for a change (or not...). So we're starting this group in hopes of finding other people with a passion for reading, and a willingness to embark upon a most ambitious quest: to read as many of the "top 100 novels" as we possible can. However we don't want to limit ourselves to just those - we hope to explore, examine, and be entertained by all different types of genres. There is no limi …

Much depends upon your participation. The time has come for us to dismantle the 9/11 myth, and thereby to remove any remaining pretext for the endless global war.  In order to do this, we will need to engage in direct, real-time political action, which will involve street protest, distribution of scientific literature and politically sensitive material, possibly civil disobedience. Until the crimes of 9/11 have been thoroughly investigated as crimes, and the perpetrators brought to justice, huma …
