125 Meetup Groups match “Book Discussion” near Mc Lean, VA
Meetup details are available only to members.
We meet monthly for book discussions in downtown DC and the surrounding suburbs. Organizers select a theme for the month, email a poll of 4-5 books in that theme, and we read the book that gets the most votes. Our discussions are inclusive, reflective and fairly light-hearted. We welcome members who are interested in reading a variety of books and who want to hear the diverse insights and perspectives of others, as well as share their own. We ask that our members be courteous in that they mainta …

We lean towards literary fiction and, to keep it interesting, we'll throw in a classic or two. Check us out! Membership Requirements: 1. Pay your membership dues $10.00. The annual memb …

Meet kindred book lovers in a stimulating, coed book club! This book club already existed and has members, but we'd like to have new members join and we have continued doing so throughout the time the book club has existed- new blood and thoughts help make the book club even more interesting and diverse. 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 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 …

People - personal stories, psychology, sociology, anthropology Places - geography, culture, urban planning Perspectives - how ot …
