Groups are implied to be a close circle of people that share and also communicate on Facebook.
Individuals often tend to create them around things like:

- Books (think of it like a book club).
- Their business (kind of like an "insider's club").
- To sell items locally.
- Exclusive membership site.
- Support groups.
There is no "Wrong" subject for a group IMHO. All of it depends upon your:.
