Did you know that more than 81% of people say that they'd like to write a book? If you have a book inside of you, what better year than 2012 to write and publish it? I'm the author of a few self published books and am planning to write another in 2012. I've written the others rapidly, and in isolation- but I thought it would be fun to see if I could find other authors or aspiring authors to meet with and talk as I work on this next book. My goal for this group would be to have it be a place wher …

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 …

Are you an intelligent, curious woman between the ages of 30 and 60 (or thereabout) who would love to read and discuss books that educate you in some way? 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? Do you like to read about historical events that have shaped how we think about me …

Hey there. I'm hoping this book club will fill a gap that's missing in the local book club scene. I really enjoy reading books that are engaging and leave me feeling like I've learned something. I also really enjoy books that help me understand other people and where they are coming from. So I started this book club, which I've named 'People, Places, and Perspectives.' People - personal stories, psychology, sociology, anthropology Places - geography, culture, urban planning Perspectives - how ot …

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 …

Each month, we choose one fiction and one nonfiction title. The book club will meet on the first Wednesday to discuss the fiction title and on the third Wednesday to discuss the nonfiction title.

I love to read books, but often feel the need to share them with others. Since, I live in a very liberal area - I thought I would start a book club for those of us conservatives who are reading the same books and would like to discuss them. Although, I am not a 912er, I would welcome any members or anyone who is interested in reading and discussing conservative books. I am open to suggestions on books. I just read a book recommended by Glenn Beck, written by Andy Andrews called "How to Kill 11 M …
