“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 …

If you want to be a Champion you must think like a Champion!!! I decided to start this book club because I have been a fan of self-help books for many years and I would love to have thought provoking conversations about Napoleon Hill "Think and Grow Rich" or Robert Kiyosaki "Rich Dad Poor Dad, and other Great Self-Help Classics. This Book club will explore new and old books about Success, Finances, Goal Setting, and any other Self-Help books that can keep our minds in a "POSITIVE" state of mind.

Each month, we will read and discuss and/or write about a great classic written by various American or European authors. Some of these books we may have read as children or teens, others may be new to us, but all have had a significant impact on readers around the globe and are worth a read, or even a second read. We will meet at a coffee/tea shop or a wine bar each month to discuss the book of the month and share anything we have written about the book, if designated as an optional assignment.

We are a group of gay guys of all ages who meet the first Wednesday of every month. We read an eclectic range of books from classics to just-released works.

Generally we talk about the book for the first part of the meeting and then the conversation evolves (or maybe devolves) to talking about anything else:  pop culture, gay life, vacations, etc.  We meet a …
