Our group meets once a month to discuss a varied selection of fiction, nonfiction, and classic texts, as recommended and voted on by our members. With a group size averaging 10-15 attendees each session, our meetings blend formal conversation around the books’ content with an informal, social atmosphere. Our members range from young professionals to mid-career and retired professionals, and our conversations are strengthened by the diversity of backgrounds and perspectives attendees bring to the exploration of each text.
Book Selection Process:
Our selection process is completely member-driven. Twice a year our chair solicits recommendations from those who have attended within the last six months. The same audience then votes on their top choices in each category. Every six-month cycle we read two fiction, two nonfiction, and two classic texts. This process ensures that we enjoy a wide range of topics rooted in our members’ interests and experiences.
Meeting Location Information:
Meetings are held over Zoom, and occasionally in person at Teaism in Penn Quarter. Our regulars are quite loyal to this location, chosen for its quiet atmosphere, central location, food variety, and reasonable pricing.
