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 …

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 in their 40's or 50's who enjoy laughing and crying over a good read. If you feel as if you would …

Looking for people passionate about reading Jodi Picoult books. Each month or every two weeks meet up and discuss novels, perhaps trading off among houses and bringing together good food and good thoughts. Please contact me about ideas or if you are interested. Looking to start perhaps in April. I think it will be a great idea to meet people too. I was thinking Sunday sometime would be a good time to meet. Novels...

The Graphic Novel Bookgroup is the newest public bookgroup at Politics and Prose. We read, you guessed it, graphic novels! But what is a graphic novel? Isn’t it just a comic book? Cartoons? Superhero in tights and capes? Occasionally, but not always. There are as wide a range of graphic novels as there are literary genres. The one commonality is that they all involve stories told with the aid of pictures - sequential storytelling. Obviously, this definition does not limit the content, and, if y …

Love graphic novels? Wish you could meet with fellow readers for interesting discussion? Same here. Let's meetup and talk about great graphic novels (and maybe have a glass of beer or wine on the side! ⎯perhaps tea and crumpets while reading From Hell?) Join us in exploring all genres and styles, from Watchmen and V for Vendetta to Maus and Persepolis (with a liberal sprinkling of Jhonen Vasquez, Neil Gaiman, Frank Miller and others in between).

This is a graphic novel book club that meets at the Georgetown Neighborhood Library every other Tuesday. All are welcome! We have started reading Neil Gaiman's Sandman series and will be covering a new book every other meeting.

This is for guys who want to read and talk about mysteries (Sherlock Holmes, Mickey Spillaine, Raymond Chandler, Ed McBain, and more.  Men are busy these days (as are women) but never have the chance to just hang out, talk and "be."  Today men increasingly are networked only by vocation, kids' schools and other gatherings.  This is a chance to not break a sweat, and do much beyond some casual reading and just "be."
