19 Meetup Groups match “Classic Novel Book Club” near San Francisco, CA
Greetings. There is hardly anything I enjoy more than to read a good book and discuss it among thoughtful individuals! How about you? Please join if you are interested in being an active participant in a book club focused **exclusively** on classic literature, shown on the following lists below, that has stood the test of time. If not interested exclusively in classic lit, if not willing to stick to selections from the lists below, there will not be a match with this group. The good news is tha …
There are several Meetup book clubs in the East Bay, but many of them are specialized (e.g., women-only, we only read such-and-such books, etc.), or their meetings fill to capacity so fast that I never get a chance to rsvp - so I decided to start this one. I previously participated in a fantastic book club in Chicago, which gave me the opportunity to read some great books that I probably wouldn't have found on my own. I hope to continue that trend here! This is a mixed-gender book club for anyon …
Welcome to the San Francisco Mind-Benders Book Club!! This club has been created by two enthusiastic book readers (James Glynn and Dilcia Giron). We would like to meet with other book lovers once a month to discuss a chosen work of literature (fiction, non-fiction, biography, classic novels, contemporary novels etc.) over drinks, coffee or a bite to eat. Books will be chosen by the organizers or the group. We are open to a wide variety of books and authors of high-quality literature. We enjoy re …
We are a group that gathers on the 4th Tuesday of the month to discuss a book we have all agreed to read. There is laughter, insight, and some great conversation. Please let us know if you would like to join us.
Depending on the subject of the meeting we will explore Music, Art, Culture, Literature, Celebrities and Proteges The purpose of the group is to experience and share interests in Art, Music etc.. If you join and don't attend the first meeting you will be removed from the group. If you don't attend any meetings for a month you will be removed. I don't' want a large group of inactive people.
About the East Bay Book Club The East Bay Book Club is a very dynamic group of individuals who share one thing in common: an enthusiasm for books. Each month, members read a particular book, chosen by the whole group or by the Organizer, and meet to share observations, insights, and personal thoughts about it. Meetings are devoted to various genres, both contemporary and classic. Although the club is based in Berkeley, CA, book readers from any geographical area are welcome to join. The club's …

There's always room for one more book enthusiast in the Fremont Ladies' Book Club! We are a group of ladies who love to read and love socializing with others who share our passion for books. If this sounds like you, we'd love to have you join us. Everyone gets to contribute to the book selection process. This allows us to read a wide variety of books that we may not have otherwise picked up in the book store. Most of our books have been fiction, but we've also read non-fiction, a children's c …
Meet kindred book lovers in a local Meetup Book Club! We read classic fiction, current fiction, and nonfiction paperbacks, rotating through these genres each month in a three-month cycle. Read a new book every month. Come to discuss the book, share stories, and make new friends!
This group is for anyone who likes the horror and/or sci-fi genres. The members shape the group. There will be a book club, movie nights, new/classic/indie film outings, genre themed game nights and anything else that others may want to do.
Meet people in your community who read the classics of English, French, Russian literature and want to get together for discussions.
There are no upcoming Meetups.
Poetry, short stories, plays, novels, history, philosophy, science, not necessarily in that order, classics that are worthy of discussion, current and past, western and non-western, these are the works we discuss. The discussion is what is most important. We discuss these works to enlarge our understanding of the ideas that shape our culture and gain a deeper appreciation for what it means to be human.

Hi there fellow 40-somethings, I created this group when I first moved to Marin County from Southern California and it was a great way to make friends. Now I'm in Berkeley and wanted to start one here. The name of the group speaks for itself, I don't stick with a theme of books to read; one month we may read a mystery, another month a classic, the next...well, you get the idea! We'll have one scheduled book club meeting each month and I'll also schedule meetups in between to attend a literature …

A group dedicatd to reading James Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Sounds pretty straight forward right..... The plan, to read a few pages alone, come together, read them aloud and decipher together. If it sounds like fun, then join. If it sounds like hard work, but rewarding, then join. If you want to laugh at the rest of us, then join.....
