Discuss a variety of life topics that focus on improving the self, from personal strength to living authentically. We discuss the advice offered in relevant books.

Meet kindred book lovers in a stimulating, coed book club that meets in Bethesda and in NW, DC!

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 j …

This Meetup group is devoted to people who simply love books and enjoy discussing them. We come together monthly with other book lovers to discuss a pre-selected book but we include time for an open format when you can discuss any book you are currently reading and would like to tell the group about it. Any book is fair game, we just want to know what you like about it and why.

  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 med …

The Ladies of Leisure Book Club is for women who love to read and socialize. We will meet once a month (sometimes once every two months) to socialize, have fun, and enjoy a meal while discussing the book of the month.
