Journey to the Centre of the Earth - Book Discussion

Ready to tackle those classic books you’ve always meant to read (or reread)? Join DC Explorers and the I Should Read That, book club.

We are launching a new, open book club dedicated to the classics, and everyone is welcome—whether you read these decades ago or are diving in for the very first time!

Our first meetup is Friday, June 19th to discuss Jules Verne’s timeless adventure, Journey to the Centre of the Earth.

We are ONLY discussing chapters 1-15. So no spoilers please.

We'll always keep a relaxed pace of about 70–100 pages per week so there is plenty of time to enjoy the story before we gather over coffee, tea, or wine.

Location:
Busboys and Poets, 235 Carroll Avenue, Takoma Park

RSVP Deadline:
Wednesday, June 17th (so we can give the venue an accurate headcount)
Logistics for the Meetup

Venue courtesy:
Please start a tab at the bar for any food or refreshments. We kindly ask that everyone purchase at least one beverage (coffee, smoothie, wine, etc.) to thank our hosts for providing the meeting space.

The Book Edition:
Warning: Because there are many heavily altered translations of this book, we highly recommend purchasing the Oxford World's Classics edition. It features the complete 45 chapters so we can all stay on the same page!

You can order the book from our host Busboys and Poets at this link.

RSVP to reserve your spot, and feel free to ask questions.

Your RSVP helps our host plan for space to accommodate everyone.

Can't wait to read with you!
