The Graphic Novel Bookgroup reads in as wide a range as there are literary genres. The one commonality is that they all involve stories told with the aid of pictures - sequential storytelling. Obviously, this definition does not limit the content, and, if you were to browse several graphic novels, you’d find striking variety: memoir, journalism, literary fiction, humor, experimental, abstract, underground comix, sketchbook/journaling, superhero, mainstream, manga, manwha, the list goes on. Like …

This club is for readers in the Washington, DC area who fell in love with books by reading the classics. Whether it was Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, or another author who got you 'hooked', you are welcome to join! We will read and discuss a classic work of fiction each month. This club is perfect for readers who want to cross more of the classics off of their "To Read" list.

We avoid mass fiction (like John Grisham, Janet Evanovich, Dan Brown, etc.). Literary fiction is a term commonly used to distinguish serious fic …

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 medita …

Love graphic novels? Wish you could meet with fellow readers for interesting discussion? Same here.

Craving some fellow readers to explore good Buddhist text with, I decided to start this group. Together, we'll choose books to delve into to enrich our spiritual practice, our lives and the lives of others.

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 …

After reading 'The Shack' by William P. Young, I began this quarterly reading club to challenge myself to read (opposed to pacifying my mind with computers, TV, and movies). I was in the library club in elementary school, and I lost the joy of reading leisurely. 'The Shack' renewed my interest!! Most books I've read can be read within a week for those who make reading a priority. With an abundance of obligations (i.e. church, work, school, [oh yeah... and self]), it takes me a little longer to c …

Tired of joining book clubs only to end up reading stacks of books that aren't your style?? Think outside the box and join us for something different! Each month, the group will pick a genre, not a book, for the upcoming month. You find a book in that genre that you want to read, then share that book with the group. Yes, everyone reads something different, but we discuss how our books each fit the genre and members get to hear about other books that they might want to read in the future. Possibl …

The Ivy League Book Club was founded July 2010 by Simbi Animashaun through a desire to connect with Sorors of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. on an intellectual level. However, we decided to extend the invitation to all professional women residing in the Maryland/Washington D.C./Virginia area. Our mission is to read good books of any genre and support African American literature. Starting 2011, book club meetings will be held every 3rd Sunday of: January, March, May, July, September, and Novemb …

There was one book in college that especially amazed and confounded me: James Joyce’s Ulysses. With a reader’s guide on my lap I eventually did made it to the final glorious yes, but I was fully aware that most of the novel’s depth and richness had washed right over the limited pathways of my mind. It’s been awhile, but I’d like to take another stab at it. This time I’d like to start by properly fortifying myself by doing some necessary supplemental reading. And while I’m at it, why not meet som …

Our mission is to support the African American literary community by uniting readers and authors who share a common interest in reading urban novels. We plan to meet once a month with an author to discuss their works. Our club is non traditional in the sense of book club picks, we will not be choosing books per month as we are aware that many of you read two to three books a week. We will meet to mingle and host our selected author of the month. Our meetups are up close and personal socials with …
