Becoming an engaged reader requires commitment and intellectual curiosity, but the rewards are great. The IAM Readers Guild is designed to allow readers to interact with others in their own community as well as the wider global reading community, and to learn a “deeper empathy” through experiencing great writing that wrestles with big ideas in many cultural contexts. Each month, groups around the world will meet to discuss the book of the month (ours being in NYC), beginning with a list of ques …

Welcome fellow bookworms and social butterflies! Ladies, Literature & Liquor is for ladies in their 20s and early 30s who love books... anything from from a nice, easy read to a good literary classic, and who are looking to expand their social circle and make a few new good girlfriends. We usually meet about once a month, mostly in Hoboken. While our chats sometimes delve into more than the book selection, we always have good conversations and a great time. Hope you can join us!

This book club will cover great literary works such as Hemingway, Dickens, Shelley, Bronte, Milton, to more recent authors like...humm...let me think--okay---let's face it, English degree = reading lots of dead authors. But really, let's read some great classics, and a little new stuff too. :) This group is aimed at 25-35 year-old people (give or take a few years) who like to get together over drinks or a meal and have critical discussions about the classics. Please read on to find out how we r …

Inspired by a recent story in the Wall Street Journal, about a long-running reading group in which the members read books aloud -- 35 or so pages a meeting -- they've read Dickens, Milton, Tolstoy, Faulkner, the Brontes, Eliot, Austen. In addition to the book we're reading (our first is The Transit of Venus), we've begun meetings by reading other short pieces or poems.

As I approach 30, it's becoming apparent that I will probably never climb Mount Everest. Still, I feel pretty confident that with some like-minded folks and moral support, I (we!) can tackle the literary Everest, War and Peace. I'm hoping to find 5-10 people out there who are interested in conquering this tome with me, a little at a time. You don't need to have majored in Lit, but you might want to have some affinity for Russian classics, or this might not be the group for you. Once we've finish …

Let's get together monthly at one of New York City's fabulous restaurants to socialize, eat, drink, and discuss current literary fiction. (And maybe a classic every now and then.) No pressure, though, as the book will always be optional. That is to say that if you haven't quite gotten around to finishing (or even starting) the book you are still welcome to come! We will try to sample all types of cuisine, visiting restaurants from trendy celeb favorites to less-known, out-of-the-way spots that p …

They just don't write em' like they used to! We'll have a casual chat about a new classic each time. We can meet whenever and wherever. Not all book clubs have to gather at a coffee shop :-) Some titles already on the list include Anna Karenina, Dracula and Catcher in the Rye. I want the rest of the group to pick some titles, as well. I'm going for a very laid-back kind of gathering. So, let's all put on our smarty pants and share a few laughs and conversation!

Main Line Readers and Diners gathers folks interested in reading and discussing literary classics and current notable works of fiction and non-fiction. As an a savory aside, topics of food and dining may pepper the conversation. Meetings to be held monthly at Ludington Library in Bryn Mawr or at a local restaurant.

This is inspired by a man who used to show up at a 24/hr diner near me dressed as Edgar Allen Poe at 4am to just read by himself and have some coffee. I started going dressed as Dylan Thomas, and though we didn't interact much, it was nice to set aside some designated "me time" out of the house, and have a familiar face nearby. He's seemed to have stopped going out, but I was hoping to extend the community to others! You can come as a literary person, a philosopher, or other thinker. Please, if …
