The group follows on from other successful reading groups including a Tamil group at East Ham Library, a Gujarati group at Green Street Library and a female Urdu group at The Gate, Forest Gate.
Sir Robin Wales said: "In Newham, we believe in the importance of doing things together. The London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games will inspire people to do more together and be active, not just in sport, but other activities such as reading."
The group will meet on the third Thursday of every month from 6.30pm to 8pm.
