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 …

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 …

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.

Love graphic novels? Wish you could meet with fellow readers for interesting discussion? Same here.

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 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."

As the organizer of a hopping couples group, I enjoy those activities immensely with my husband. However, there is a major *gap* only women can fill and we gals know and feel exactly what that is! I hope this group will foster precious connections: woman to woman with plenty of laughter and sharing enjoyable activities, from laid back hanging out just chatting to special activities that emerge as our group evolves. Some ideas are games, book club, art, poetry, crafts, pot lucks or inexpensive di …
