Welcome to the Washington DC Medieval Reading Group! What we do: The Medieval Reading Group meets to discuss works of the middle ages. Our focus is on Medieval English Literature, but we will read various genres, and make occasional pilgrimages to the continent. The format follows that of "Great Books" Seminars (please read). You do not have to have any special knowledge to participate, just a willingness to meet the text on its own terms. All selections will be read in translation. I will …
There was one book in college that especially amazed and confounded me: James Joyce’s Ulysses. With a reader’s guide on my lap I eventually did made it to the final glorious yes, but I was fully aware that most of the novel’s depth and richness had washed right over the limited pathways of my mind. It’s been awhile, but I’d like to take another stab at it. This time I’d like to start by properly fortifying myself by doing some necessary supplemental reading. And while I’m at it, why not meet som …
Why “somewhat” difficult? Partly it’s about humility: Not everyone will agree about what qualifies a book as “difficult,” and occasionally we’ll read something that you don’t struggle with at all. But no matter what your opinion of, oh just for example let’s say Slaughterhouse Five, most people can agree that it at least requires more concentration, more analysis and more reflection than The Notebook (nothing against The Notebook if that’s your thing). Maybe Vonnegut -- or Great Expectations, o …

A few friends and I have been reading and meeting up at coffee shops and brunch spots around northern Virginia for a few months and we would like a few more people who like to read a variety of books (fiction, non-fiction, travel books, chic lit, not so much sci-fi though) while exploring fun coffee shops and brunch spots (p …
This is a group for people to discuss the books they are reading and may read as little or as much as one may find the time to. Meetings can be held on Sundays in the afternoon. There are so many books out there and hundreds of authors hoping for an audience. Let's give these lonely, literary stars our attention for a few weeks or so of our time! What are all these people writing about and what for? Let's figure it out. Let's read great books or at least a few sentences; let's observe characters …

Book to read are chosen at the previous month's meeting.

This book is for women in their 20s and 30s (ish) who want to get together for light discussion around "guilty pleasure" type books over a cocktail or a cup of coffee.

We select our books as a group, so you'll find us reading anything from historical romance to Fifty Shades of Grey to Bossypants...And sometimes we'll tackle books with a little more depth, too (think The He …

We are people who like to know more today than we did the day before. We like to challenge our assumptions, question our beliefs and come away with that cherished little pearl of insight that keeps alive our sense of awe at life.
