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?

Great ideers.

Thanks to all for fabulous ideas. I have been poking around the suggested links and sources for other groups and will audition one or two of them. It does sound, however, like there is interest enough here that I might be able to throw together a small (5-15 member) super-local (Davis, Teele, Porter) reading group. Let me stew on it, get some ideas of my own, and get back to the board soon.
