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 …

Do you who wonder how the brain works, how the environment and food is affecting your health, what a new scientific discovery overseas could mean for you in terms of your beliefs and ethics, or what it come mean to you when we lose another species to extinction?

This is a group for people to discuss the books they are reading and may read as little or as much as one may find the time to. Meetings can be held on Sundays in the afternoon. There are so many books out there and hundreds of authors hoping for an audience. Let's give these lonely, literary stars our attention for a few weeks or so of our time! What are all these people writing about and what for? Let's figure it out. Let's read great books or at least a few sentences; let's observe characters …

A women's book club in Vienna, VA - although we occasionally stray outside of Vienna's boundaries for our monthly meet up!

Thanks for visiting us.    For the near future we've stopped accepting new members, but we may resume later, when we've got the group working to our satisfaction. Do you love to read? Do you read a lot? When you read a book you love, can you say why? When people ask you about the last book you read, do you just say it was "beautiful" or "thrilling" or "I couldn't put it down?"  Do you wish you could say more, but nothing comes to mind? Are you looking for a few more good books to read? You've c …

I am a high school biology teacher who would like to have extra motivation to read science-related books and discuss them outside of school. These wouldn't be textbooks, they would be more "popular science" that are educational and entertaining as well! Authors will include Richard Dawkins, Natalie Angier, E.O. Wilson, Carl Sagan, and Rachel Carson among others. There are many of these that have been on my "to-do" list for a long time. Of course other science teachers would be great for this gro …

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 …
