This is book club for people who want to catch up on their modern classics such as Lolita, Catch-22 and On the Road. Book choices will be from the 20th century and on. We have a good group going so far, members coming from all over NYC. You do not have to live in Williamsburg to join! This is simply where the meet-ups will tend to be.
Meet with other book lovers once a month to discuss a chosen piece of literature (fiction, nonfiction, biography, contemporary, classic novels- depends on what we all vote on!) over drinks or a bite to eat. This is a great chance to meet other local people who share your love for books. Books will be chosen by the group, so feel free to recommend anything you are interested in reading.
Do you like vampire books? Read and discuss different vampire novels-both classics and newer books. Possibly also non-fiction works about vampire legends. Anyone who likes vampire novels like Anne Rice , L.A. Banks , Laurell K. Hamilton or Charlaine Harris and others should join. At the end of each meetup we will decide what to read next.
There are no upcoming Meetups.

While we may occasionally read a modern classic (Lolita, Catch-22), we read mostly classic works written before 1950 (check our calendar to sample our book selection). We emphasize novels and plays important within the history of literature or have some historical interest. We have friendly, topical discussions about what we enjoyed, didn't enjoy, and found interesting in our reading while making some literate friends in the process. G …
