About the Group

BookMen DC is an informal group of men who are interested in gay literature (both fiction and non-fiction). Most of us live in or near Washington, D.C., but a few members bring a breath of fresh air to our meetings from outside the Beltway, and visitors to DC are always welcome to drop in and join the discussion.

The group gets together on the first and third Wednesdays of each month for meetings lasting about an hour. On first Wednesdays, we meet at 6:30 p.m. at the Cleveland Park Library at 3310 Connecticut Ave. NW, two blocks from the Cleveland Park Metro station on the Red Line. On third Wednesdays, we meet at 7 p.m. via Zoom.

To be invited, contact "Steve" below.

In keeping with our open and public policy, you don't have to become a member or commit to reading every book and attending every meeting. Simply show up whenever your interests and schedule allow.
For further information or to be placed on our mailing list or to post on our blog, contact .
