Escape Reality is a place where friends can come together for lively and meaningful discussion about books of all kinds while enjoying some good food, good wine, and great company! Meetings are two Sundays of each month at 5:00 pm. Members will be able to take turns suggesting readings. We believe that variety is the spice of life and that everyone should have a chance to break out of their comfort zones so we don't limit what we read to any particular genre or type of novel, we want to get a li …

We are an eclectic mix of readers. We welcome all comers - male and female, LBGT, liberal and conservative. We range in age from late 20s/early 30s to mid/late 50s. If you live in or near Silver Spring, can meet on the 3rd Sunday afternoon of each month, and like to read literary fiction, some history, and some biography, then this book club is for you. We avoid mass fiction (like John Grisham, Janet Evanovich, Dan Brown, etc.). Literary fiction is a term commonly used to distinguish serious fic …

The purpose of this group is to discuss books that we find we can't put down after the first reading.  We'll discuss the elements of the story that we most connect with. Drinking warm, soothing tea such as jasmine, oolong, mint, constant comment, green leaves with orange peel, or peppermint will enhance your discussion of what we will read. How comfy is that? This group will appeal to diverse women over who enjoy laughing and crying over a good read. If you feel as if you would like to discuss y …

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 …

A live, as opposed to on-line, book discussion group that reads speculative fiction like Science Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery, Graphic Novels and more! As this group grow I hope to include Movie, TV, and Game nights and possibly trips to events like Balticon or even New York Comic Con. I want this to be a content rich envirionment and I plan on starting some related topics on the discussion boards. If anyone would like to help with organizing or adding content, message me!

I spent an amazing year in Edinburgh, Scotland. While there, I was a member of a creative writing group where I met some fantastic writers. I want to start a similar group in the DC area because I know we have many great writers in the area as well. So here we are. The group brings together writers of all ages and from all walks of life. Whether you are a new writer or have published, all are welcome.  If writing is your life, search for a group no longer.  The format is writers will bring no mo …

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 …

looking for other women in my area who like to read good fiction or non-fiction (something more than pop chic-lit), and would like to get together once a month or so. Perhaps you have never been in a book club before like me; have never taken the time... one weeknight a month; get reading again and discuss with other interesting, intelligent women.

This is a book club for 20 something ladies who want to get together to discuss books, drink wine (or beer), and have a good time. Looking to get together about 8-10 members to meet once a month.

I love reading books aimed at a young audience, and I know other people must, too! Let's revisit old favorites like _A Wrinkle in Time_ and the _Half Magic_ series, as well as new classics like _When You Reach Me_, _Will Grayson, Will Grayson_, and _Marcello in the Real World_. We can also consider questions where we benefit from adulthood/hindsight, such as... Do you like _The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe_ any better or worse now that you know it's all Christian allegory? How in the world …

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 …

Who loves a good read? This group is dedicated to those who flip right to People magazine's book reviews in the check out aisle at the grocery store. To the ones who give story lines a shot, even if it is labeled young adult fiction. The ones who don't care if the book is the next great American novel, or not. I'm creating this meetup based off of my love of books, plot lines, and social company. I am an equal opportunist when it comes to my books, and I hope that if you join, you will be too. T …
