If you're longing for intellectual discussions and love literature then this is the group for you. I've toyed with this idea for some time but have finally decided to go actively looking for a group that will dawdle over coffee or dinner for hours and hours.. If the idea of violent but civilised discussions on classic literature and poetry fills you with excitement then I hope you'll find a home here. A large group is not the idea at all. A small tightly knit group which shares similar interest …

This discussion group aspires to create a casual social setting in which the like-minded individuals can explore and share their understandings of Dharma in a neutral, secular, universal, non religious, practical and intellectual context. The hope is that this will re …

"Instead of the modernist quest for meaning in a chaotic world, the postmodern author eschews, often playfully, the possibility of meaning, and the postmodern novel is often a parody of this quest. Postmodern authors also tend to celebrate chance over craft, and further employ metafiction to undermine the writer's authority. Another characteristic of postmodern literature is the questioning of distinctions between high and low culture through the use of pastiche, the combination of subjects and …

Quick Stories are really great stories you can read in five minutes. So... on the way to work, sitting in the park, lazing around with a martini in the evening, maybe even waiting for that friend who is always late to show up... Our group's mission is to write and then publish our stories in a series of volumes. The idea is that we all write our own stories and we all help everyone else gets theirs to a point where they are ready to be published. In terms of publishing, we've set up a system w …

This is an "experimental" meetup for Londoners tired of spending the short weekend in venues and social events with loud music that makes conversation impossible, or in “chicken farm” pubs and clubs. We want to organize relaxed and friendly social events outside the dominant “culture of noise” and practice the forgotten art of conversation, possibly away from "loud, tacky and cheesy", discovering and exploring the true, hidden gems of this city. This is a free meetup where members are invited to …
