A book club gathering at Fantom Comics.

Data released by Amazon.com and the National Endowment For The Arts suggest that Washingtonians love to read. Libraries, bookstores and civic organizations have taken note of this and book clubs with niche themes have grown locally, attracting readers with a wide variety of interests. There are reading groups that discuss everything from Superman and spirituality to queer identity. Kojo discusses the landscape of communal reading options and what reading together offers local book lovers.

Guests

  • Jake Shapiro Manager, Fantom Comics
  • Andrea Lewis Program Officer, One Maryland One Book
  • Michael Redmond Assistant Principal, Truesdell Education Campus
