One of them was called "The Let's Finish the Book Book Club" due to slacking members. I doubt this acted as a draw for anyone but maybe if we read humor it would work. This book club was comprised of librarians, ironically enough. We mainly read fiction titles and there were a few members who just didn't like anything and that kind of across the board negativity contributed to the disbanding of the group.<br /><br />The second book club didn't have an official name but I think we were unofficially called the "Foodie Bookie Club". We would meet at restaurants around NYC that were of the same cuisine as the book we read. That kind of turned into a food club more than a book club. I distinctly remember meeting at a Portuguese restaurant to discuss "Blindness" and a disagreement about the book was quickly mollified by the food.
