The ECB Fiction Book Club meets once a month on the first Monday of the month (subject to seasonal holidays or other schedule disruptions). Ranging from Albert Camus to Paul Beatty, our selections are inspired specifically by the themes and struggles that resonate with our neighborhood.

This book club is open to anyone who wants to join the discussion. If you're interested in joining this event, email the host at [email protected]. 

About the Host

Erin is a DMV native who enjoys buying more books than she can feasibly read, talking about said books over wine with friends, and appropriating other people's pets. She's been part of the ECB Fiction Book Club since its founding in 2016, and took over hosting duties in 2018.

** Please note starting in January 2024, ECB Fiction Book Club has a new start time of 6p.m.
