Finally... a book club in Williamsburg! We decide on a new book every month- only after polling you, of course. After reading, we'll get together at a local Williamsburg haunt to discuss. Don't worry, we'll come prepared with questions so you won't have to stress over having nothing to say.

Every month, we will post links to three unrelated web pages, usually news stories, to discuss at dinner. People are to read these articles (and other sources if they so wish) and come and have dinner to discuss them. The intent is that this REQUIRED reading will take about 2 hours.  The events will generally be on Sunday or Saturday evening to give people time during the weekend to do the reading. The idea is to be like a book club, but with far more modest demands on peoples' time. RSVP's will …
