Book group, or groups?

[nora-rocket.livejournal.com]

Hello all:

I am a recent transplant to the area, and I'm interested in joining (or starting...) a book group.  Any of you bookish types have a reading club that you frequent or of which you know?  I asked at Porter Square Books if they hosted or knew of any and I was shocked to get blank looks.  Are there any other nerdy hot spots I should check with about reading groups?  Ideally, I'd like a group that reads lit fic, narrative nonfic, SF/fantasy, female authors, or feminist writing--or any combinations of the above (woman-penned fiction, feminist SF...).  Aiming for a book-a-month pace.

If nothing like this exists, I'd be all for starting a casual book club meet-up of the type I seek--any interest?

I think there is a Book Crossing (Bookcrossing?) group in the area, but since I have only heard this second-hand (from someone who went to one meeting), I do not know the details. Actually, I think there was a very short post about that here sometime in the last 3-4 months. Let me ask my source.

Ooh! Please elaborate when you are able. I just joined Book Crossing and am all about the book-hopping!

Thanks!
