Meet other book people in a local book club. We read a different genre of book each month, and decide together on the next month's book. We use the book 501 Must Read Books as the source of our choices. We meet the third Thursday of each month. Come to share your opinions and observations, have something to eat and/or drink, and make new friends from the neighborhood.

THE HISTORY OF SWBC: Are you seeking the next great book or your next dear friend?  Do you thoroughly enjoy reflecting on the meaning of life within the context of classic and contemporary fiction?  Then, our vivacious, women-only book club could be for you.

Meet kindred book lovers in a stimulating, coed book club! This book club already existed and has members, but we'd like to have new members join and we have continued doing so throughout the time the book club has existed- new blood and thoughts help make the book club even more interesting and diverse. The age range of the group is between the late twenties to the late 40s and one must fill out the form (I know it's a pain) and be selected by the group to join. We meet on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. …

This is the group for people who have shelves of books that your friends haven't read-- or have no interest in reading :) I'm sure there are kindred spirits out there who love well-written biographies, books about African American history, social issues or themes relevant to the Black community. So...if you sometimes schlep to Politics and Prose, hop a train to the Harlem Book Fair (or want to), search for interesting used book stores online (I can't be the only one) or wait every year for the N …

Whether you are pretty fabulous, or admittedly pretty and fabulous, this book club is the place for you! Bridging friendships and bringing together like-minded women with shared commonalities leads to the best book selections, choices of venue, flow of events, and comradery among budding friendships. If you enjoy tea parties, fine dining, the arts + great conversation amid thought-provoking literary selections and great company, you have found your book club! Join us!

This is just not another tiresome meetup book club that follows some predictable path well trod by about a million other meetup groups. First, we aim to energize your reading life by presenting a rich menu of unexpected offerings rather than a boring genre-specific diet. We will read delightful fables, profound novels about every aspect of the human condition, comedies, plays, thoughtful (but accessible) works of philosophy, as well as a variety of serious political, social and cultural medita …

There are many people out there who gravitate towards non-fiction. This group will meet about once every 6-8 weeks to discuss a non-fiction book. It's the MOSTLY non-fiction book club because once in a while, I feel like a little fiction.

Arlington Metaphysical Chapel 5618 Wilson Blvd. Arlington, VA 22205 703 276-8738 www.arlingtonmeta.com Please join us on the fourth Sunday of each month from 1:30 to 3:00 pm for friendship, discussion, exchange of ideas, and support for our individual and shared journeys.  The book group will meet right after the luncheon that follows the 11:00 am Worship service.

Meet other women in the area that share an interest in reading all kinds of fascinating works of literature. Fiction or non-fiction, paperback or hardcover. We will read a new book every month. Come to laugh, share stories and make new friends! We believe new books and thoughts from our members will help keep the Ladies Loving Literature Book Club interesting, fresh and exciting for all. We will meet at a different location in the area every five weeks to talk about the book we've read and choos …

This is a typical book club, discussion will be held at a Takoma Park cafe or restaurant (not at the library). We will discuss about 6 to 12 books a year rotating through a list of topics including Economics and Distribution, Environmental Politics. School Lunch Politics, Vegetarianism, Veganism and Animal Rights (as a political topic), Language Policy, Gun Control and citizen activism (and more). The hope is that we can support progressive authors, and learn what we need to learn to move forwar …

This is a book club with novels selected from Modern Library's 100 Best Novels. See the list: http://www.modernlibrary.com/top-100/100-best-novels/ The book club will meet once a month on Saturday/Sunday to discuss the selected reading. Since we'll start out small, the first 2-3 books will be selected by the organizer. After the first few book selections, we will have polls for each subsequent book selection - so your opinion matters!

A club dedicated to broadening our minds through the reading and discussing of non-fiction books outside the mainstream - books that offer a perspective not found on the best-seller list on such topics as HIV/AIDS, the FED, global warming, 9/11, China, the CIA, peak oil, Israel/Palestine, international finance, crop circles, US foreign policy, the holocaust, immigration, Iran, hunger, Cuba, the autism epidemic, nuclear disarmament, Afghanistan, the media, terrorism, family planning, etc.

Our mission is to support the African American literary community by uniting readers and authors who share a common interest in reading urban novels. We plan to meet once a month with an author to discuss their works. Our club is non traditional in the sense of book club picks, we will not be choosing books per month as we are aware that many of you read two to three books a week. We will meet to mingle and host our selected author of the month. Our meetups are up close and personal socials with …

Welcome to the Sci-Fi and Fantasy Book Club! We’re a diverse group of readers of all ages and backgrounds, meeting twice a month.

Every fourth Sunday (usually) we discuss a science fiction selection, alternating between classic and modern sci-fi. We've seen so much interest in our book selections, we also open up smaller morning discussion sessions 1-2 weeks be …

There are many things that this group is NOT: It's not being critiqued by anyone who walks in off the street, It's not meandering conversations about kids, recipes, having a terrible job, or having no job at all. It's not about blogging, fanfic, children's books, or books that are written in an hour, a week, a month, or a year. What this group IS is meeting regularly with a professional writer and editor who will work on your book on all levels from genre choice to plot arcs to line-by-line edit …

This is a casual and friendly book group for D.C. young professionals between the ages of 21 and 35 who like discussing books and drinking beer--preferably at the same time! We meet the last Wednesday evenings of each month at Public Bar in Tenleytown. This event is sponsored by the D.C. Public Library.

After reading 'The Shack' by William P. Young, I began this quarterly reading club to challenge myself to read (opposed to pacifying my mind with computers, TV, and movies). I was in the library club in elementary school, and I lost the joy of reading leisurely. 'The Shack' renewed my interest!! Most books I've read can be read within a week for those who make reading a priority. With an abundance of obligations (i.e. church, work, school, [oh yeah... and self]), it takes me a little longer to c …

I am interested in changing the way I think about food and am starting on a journey to read and discuss books that will provide information for thought. My focus is more on healthy living rather than on dieting. The first book, "What To Eat" by Marion Nestle is organized around the layout of most supermarkets. Looking for 6 Boomer Ladies who want to commit to purchasing the book and reading select content for discussion two times a month for five months at local restaurants. We will meet the 1st …

The Great Books Reading Group is not a literature club. It is a discussion group that uses a multidisciplinary approach to learning and exploring the past and present. We are reading from the St. John's College Reading List. As we read foundational texts in the Western tradition, we examine mysticism, history, theology, the earth and physical sciences, mathematics, philosophy and government, as well as art, literature and music.

Information is power. Fibromyalgia is enigmatic and ambiguous and can be a life-altering disorder. Fight the confusion and uncertainty with information. My vision for this group is to get people who experience fibromyalgia together to comment and share their thoughts on current research and historical perspectives. The reading list won't be limited to books or research specifically on fibromyalgia. It will also include books on neuroscience, chronic illness, philosophy of self and consciousness, …

Looking for a “novel” way to connect with other Arlington/Metro DC singles? Share the Books You Love, and Maybe Find New Love! How does Book Dating work? Bring a couple of books you’d like to share – your favorites, disappointments, the book you're in the middle of, or the one you're about to start reading. Previous guests have brought fiction, nonfiction, and books about favorite places or interests. One young man even brought a GMAT book, which he used to tell the story of why he decided to …

I decided to start up a book club in Shirlington because it seemed like the others offered were in faraway lands... like DC and Reston. I enjoy visiting both of these places, but I don't enjoy trying to get there after work or on a weekend. After lamenting over the book club options it finally occurred to me - why do I start one in Shirlington so I could actually walk there and hopefully get to meet people in my own little neighborhood? Hence the beginning of the Shirlington Book Club (I'm ope …

Looking to read interesting books while meeting new people? Join us for brunch once a month in the Montgomery County area to discuss a different genre of books. Each month we will choose a book from a different genre. This is a great way to start reading books you may not normally choose. We will each talk about the books as they relate to the genre while eating delicious food and getting to know one another. We will also plan get-togethers throughout the month: happy hours, dinners, movies, and …

This is a non-denominational book club. Just like any other book club, we are reading down a list of books on the topic of Buddhism and we discuss them at restaurants and cafe's near Takoma Park and Silver Spring. You don't need to be self identifying Buddhist to participate and the organizer will not pressure you to "join the club." We'll be reading books for the popular audience and will rotate through all the major traditions with a mild leaning towards Buddhism as it is developing in the US …
