A book club for the burned out
Do you want to discuss books and ideas, but have a hard time sitting down and reading? Whether you are too busy with work and family or too distracted by Tik Tok and 24 hour news, it can be hard to focus on a book.
Get in the habit, or back in the habit, of reading regularly with our book club. We will read books that require minimal commitment - under 200 pages or up to about 6 hours reading - from a wide variety of genres. Some months we might just discuss a short story or an essay.
We will meet at the Takoma Park Library for an hourlong discussion on a Sunday afternoon.
Come discuss these books with us!
