Big Book Club's "What the Whale!"


Our Mission: To read really big books, talk about them online, and cheer each other on when necessary.

Each week librarians Jennie, Megan, Pete and Alex ask and answer questions that come up during our online Sunday night discussion, drop pop-culture references, talk to guest experts, and more.

Previous books: War and Peace (summer 2018); Middlemarch (winter 2019)

The Big Book Club is a production of the Arlington Public Library, Arlington Virginia

A Big Book Club mini episode about Marie Kondo and what she actually said.

While recording our January 15 "Ides of Middlemarch" episode, Megan's palate cleansers included the Netflix show, "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo."

Pete mentioned a rumor that's been floating around social media about what Marie Kondo says about books.... and Jennie had a lot to say in order to set the record straight about "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing."
