Are you an intelligent, curious woman between the ages of 30 and 60 (or thereabout) who would love to read and discuss books that educate you in some way? Do you who wonder how the brain works, how the environment and food is affecting your health, what a new scientific discovery overseas could mean for you in terms of your beliefs and ethics, or what it come mean to you when we lose another species to extinction? Do you like to read about historical events that have shaped how we think about me …

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 …

Hey there. I'm hoping this book club will fill a gap that's missing in the local book club scene. I really enjoy reading books that are engaging and leave me feeling like I've learned something. I also really enjoy books that help me understand other people and where they are coming from. So I started this book club, which I've named 'People, Places, and Perspectives.' People - personal stories, psychology, sociology, anthropology Places - geography, culture, urban planning Perspectives - how ot …

Are you interested in being a part of a book club? Do you want to discuss books in an adult setting where different opinions are welcomed? This group is for you!

I love to read books, but often feel the need to share them with others. Since, I live in a very liberal area - I thought I would start a book club for those of us conservatives who are reading the same books and would like to discuss them. Although, I am not a 912er, I would welcome any members or anyone who is interested in reading and discussing conservative books. I am open to suggestions on books. I just read a book recommended by Glenn Beck, written by Andy Andrews called "How to Kill 11 M …

I decided to start this group in honor of the growing popularity of young adult fantasy novels in popular culture! Now, more than ever, young adult fantasy has been undergoing a renaissance, with book series like Harry Potter leading to an explosion in creative ya literature. Authors like Suzanne Collins, Cassandra Clare, Libba Bray, Holly Black, and more have been writing books that use fantasy to explore a wide array of themes and topics, from dystopian futures to forbidden love. This book …

This is a book club aimed at reading books of interest to IT professionals, especially software developers. Not hard core technical books, but instead the sort of book that you could sit down and read cover to cover in two to four hours, such as Joel on Software, The Cathedral & the Bazaar, Dreaming in Code, etc. [And maybe a single language review book per year] We'll meet at some coffee shop, bookstore or cafe in Takoma Park or Silver Spring near a metro stop.
