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 …

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 …

Northern Virginia and the surrounding area is very liberal.  As a result, it often is difficult for conservatives and libertarians to meet and discuss timely topics or current books. This meetup group is unique by giving conservatives and libertarians an informal forum to exchange ideas, debate issues, and develop a network of like-minded individuals. The group meets once a month, at least, and we will focus on timely issues.  If you are interested in thoughtful discussions and meeting fellow …

I decided to start this group in honor of the growing popularity of young adult fantasy novels in popular culture! Now, more than ever, young adult fantasy has been undergoing a renaissance, with book series like Harry Potter leading to an explosion in creative ya literature. Authors like Suzanne Collins, Cassandra Clare, Libba Bray, Holly Black, and more have been writing books that use fantasy to explore a wide array of themes and topics, from dystopian futures to forbidden love. This book …

Tipsy readers is a group of young women that meet once a month for a couple of hours to discuss a wide variety of books over drinks (alcoholic, caffeine induced, whatever!). A few friends and I have been reading and meeting up at coffee shops and brunch spots around northern Virginia for a few months and we would like a few more people who like to read a variety of books (fiction, non-fiction, travel books, chic lit, not so much sci-fi though) while exploring fun coffee shops and brunch spots (p …

Are you a solitary creature who lives in constant danger of being crushed by a stack of books? When company comes, do you have to move books off the sofa so they can sit down? Or maybe you're an avid reader looking for other avid readers in a culture that seems uninterested in reading anything more complicated that a cereal box? If so, you've come to the right place. We'll meet the third Sunday of every month to discuss literary fiction. Why "literary" fiction? It's not because we're a snooty bu …

Why “somewhat” difficult? Partly it’s about humility: Not everyone will agree about what qualifies a book as “difficult,” and occasionally we’ll read something that you don’t struggle with at all. But no matter what your opinion of, oh just for example let’s say Slaughterhouse Five, most people can agree that it at least requires more concentration, more analysis and more reflection than The Notebook (nothing against The Notebook if that’s your thing). Maybe Vonnegut -- or Great Expectations, o …

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

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, …

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 …
