“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” ~Dr. Seuss I've tried joining a few book clubs that were genre specific (chick lit), gender specific (chicks only), and author specific (Stephen King) but as none seemed to satisfy my palate, I thought I'd try to see if there were others like me, i.e. those who can equally enjoy the likes of Jane Austen, Stephen King, Shakespeare,Neil Gaiman, Dean Koontz as well as nonfiction books (The …

"Heifer International's mission is to work with communities to end hunger and poverty and care for the earth. By giving families a hand-up, not just a hand-out, [they] empower them to turn lives of hunger and poverty into self-reliance and hope. With gifts of lives …

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 que …

This club's goal is to have great discussions on renowned works in both fiction and non-fiction. This would include great works of literature, history, autobiographies, biographies, plays etc. Great books and great discussions are our goal; books that profoundly explore human nature. Especially for fiction it would be great to hear from people who have read the book at different phases of their lives and to hear how their opinions of the book have changed. We will have monthly meeting w …
