Meet kindred book lovers in the Rockland/Bergen County area. While we may occasionally read a modern classic (Lolita, Catch-22), we read mostly classic works written before 1950 (check our calendar to sample our book selection). We emphasize novels and plays important within the history of literature or have some historical interest. We have friendly, topical discussions about what we enjoyed, didn't enjoy, and found interesting in our reading while making some literate friends in the process. G …

We’re a discussion group with a focus on rationality, philosophy, science, technology, skepticism and ethics. We choose members who are friendly, intellectually curious, intelligent, non-religious, and rationally-minded – meaning that we’re more interested in figuring out the truth together than in proving ourselves right, or in arguing for the sake of arguing. Our members are young, almost all in the range of 20 to 35 years old. Our meetings are usually informal group discussions at someone’s a …

Originally this group was centered on horror but as time went on it seemed right to include both mystery and science fiction. There's this misconception that horror movies are only effective if they have a certain level of violence or gore, similar to what you might find with the Saw franchise. Films such as the Blair Witch Project, The Others and Paranormal Activity however, prove otherwise. When the audience has to conjure their own interpretation to an event based on what's implied or not vis …

During each Meetup, we'll watch a 20 minute TEDTalk and then spend the remaining 30-40 minutes in a spirited discussion about the ideas presented in the talk.
