Hello fellow Hacker News readers living in Northern Virginia and DC. This town is a volcano of startups waiting to explode. Let's help it happen. Join this meetup group where we can put together some regular meetings at local bars and pubs to talk technology.

… It is my hope that this book club will attract both avid and casual readers who enjoy all types of literature. The only requests I have with regard to the book selections are that the person who selects the book kick off the discussion and the books should be under 300 pages or so. Hopefully this will allow everyone the opportunity to finish the book before each monthly meeting, even those with limited time. Also, of course people outside Shirlington are welcome, but I would like to request …

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.

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 …

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 b …

  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 …

Who should join: Women 20+. The only other requirement is an avid interest in books and a desire to meet like-minded women in a laid back environment.

Books will include popular fiction and non-fiction with a few classics thrown in the mix.  Please post your recommendations under the "Discussion" tab.  I find that s …

Southern Montgomery County Words and Wine is social book club for women in their 30s and 40s. We typically have two events a month – a book discussion and a social event. Each month we meet at a member's home or at a local restaurant to discuss our book selection. We spend about 30 minutes talking about the book while enjoying great food and a bottle of wine. The rest of the time we get to know one another. Members are encouraged to bring their book suggestions, because we like to read a variet …
