This is a casual and friendly book group for D.C. young professionals between the ages of 21 and 35 who like discussing books and drinking beer--preferably at the same time! We meet the last Wednesday evenings of each month at Public Bar in Tenleytown. This event is sponsored by the D.C. Public Library.

We are a friendly group of readers who meet on Thursday nights at the Georgetown Branch of DC Public Library. All books we read are available through the library system, so there is no need to buy titles (unless of course you want to support the floundering publishing industry). Anyone who likes to read literary fiction and the occasional not-so-literary title is welcome, as are suggestions for upcoming titles.

If your reading interests lean towards non-fiction, or if you are interested in a non-fiction title the Georgetown non-Fiction book Club is for you! We meet once a month at the Georgetown Neighborhood Library in D.C. (on the corner of R St. & Wisconsin Ave.). We'll read recent best-sellers, titles that people are talking about, and what you are interested in!
