Hello all, I want to start a book club for gay men. Read a little literature, make some friends. Who's interested? Tom

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 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.

Meet kindred book lovers in a local Meetup Book Club! Fiction or non-fiction, paperback or hardcover, you'll read a new book every month. Come to laugh, share stories and make new friends!

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 …

This a meetup group for folks who see racism as a white problem and/or are interested in learning about the systemic role of whiteness in our society. We'll feed y'all (nothing fancy) and let you peruse the largest collection of anti-racist literature in New England (not to mention, you'll meet some great folks). Sometimes we'll have a reading, a talk, a movie and/or sometimes, we'll just put up our feet and rest and/or roll up our sleeves and get our hands dirty ;).

We are a pretty casual group of ladies who find enjoyment in a good discussion, but as far as book clubs go, we typically do not send out questions in advance or have a concrete schedule as to how each meetup will play out.  Often times, our gatherings are split between talking about the book and talking about life in general.  We respect each others' opinions and encourage open and honest dialogue at our gatherings. We have a wonderful group of regulars, but always welcome new members!  We do …

We love everything technology (old or new), are willing to wait in line to see the new Burton, Cameron, Jackson, Scott, or Spielberg  flick on opening night (with no shame for smuggling in snacks from the grocery store) and love role-playing in whatever form it takes: pen and paper, live-action or online. We have clothing (not costumes) in our closet that would fit well in the 16th century or the 23rd century. We can master any interest that piques our curiosity, whether it be making crème brule …

The Greater Boston Free School is an experimental collective of teachers and students who offer classes to the public. Our title comes from a family of birds that is social, non-hierarchical, and intelligent in nature; these qualities guide our efforts. The college runs on anarchic, decentralized, voluntary, self-managed, and horizontal principles, and we provide an open-ended framework for a non-hierarchical, informal, yet still academically rigorous class structure. We are getting our meetup …

Hi there! I want to start a book club that focuses on non-fiction reads -- mostly what I tend to read are books about health and wellness, travel, animals, biographies, business, and in general, real things. I feel like I am alone out there, because every other book club I see is totally based on reading novels and other works of fiction. Unfortunately, it is rare for me to really enjoy a novel! I would love to see if other people in the area are interested in reading about the "real" stuff and …

I am creating this group to bring together like-minded folk who share the love of poetry. I'd love to meet people who have time to get together at least twice a month to share ideas and poems.
