A small book club for 20-and-30-something ladies and female-identified people to meet once a month and discuss a work of literature--primarily fiction, maybe with an occasional work of nonfiction thrown in. I started this book club for three reasons: 1) I miss discussing books after reading them, the way I used to in school, 2) I'd like to make more friends in Baltimore, and 3) Book clubs are best when they're small, and I just wasn't able to find a small one to join in Baltimore! Join this grou …

  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 …

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 …

Do you like to read? Do you like to drink? Then this is the book club for you! Once a month, we will meet in a bar to discuss a book we've all read. This way, we can socialize with other readers, unwind with a beer, and hear some great commentary on a work of fiction or nonfiction. Every month we'll discuss a different book, which will be announced ahead of time. I'll make the final decision for which book we end up reading, but will gladly accept suggestions via e-mail, Message Board, or in per …

Meet other local readers and followers of The Artist's Way and other books by Julia Cameron.

Our book club meets the third Thursday of every month and we rotate meeting "hosts" each month. We generally try to try a different book genre each month, such as memoir, non-fiction, science fiction, biography, autobiography, classic, fiction, etc. The "host" can select the meeting space, be it a coffee shop, bar, restaurant, or home, and comes up with a few good starter discussion questions.  Ideally we'll stick to Capitol Hill and Eastern Market. Feel free to offer "hosting" a meeting, just s …
