meetup.com/NYC-1001-Books-and-Movies-Group
The 1001 series includes books, movies, paintings and albums that you should
experience in your lifetime. That’s an impressive feat for anyone, but
this club takes books and movies from that list and opens them up for
discussion at meetings. If you have an interest in the most highly-regarded
literature and cinema and wish to meet similar people for friendly, open

The Last Monday of the Month Book Club Meetup
NYC Meetups
Edgar’s Cafe
650 Amsterdam Ave
New York, NY 10025
(212) 595-6261
meetup.com/Monday-night-book-club
True to its name, this book club meets on the last Monday of each month at
Edgar’s Cafe. Its 98 members discuss titles from a variety of authors. Many
of the books have vivid characters and convoluted plots involving
relationships, personal drama and skeletons in protagonists’ closets. These
books invite the reader on a journey to understand how the characters came
to be who they are. This is a great book club for stories that develop
relatable characters. What is perhaps most interesting about the cafe where
each meeting is held, is that it is themed after Edgar Allen Poe, with decor
reminiscent of “The Black Cat” and “The Fall of the House of Usher.”
However, there is no Amontillado on the wine list.
