DC By The Book
The nation's capital has served as the backdrop for many works of fiction. Monuments and landmarks have made for settings familiar to locals and visitors alike. And authors with local roots have used tightly-knit communities and gritty streets to share their connections to D.C. with audiences. We explore the literary fabric of the city and learn about a new mapping project that will help readers explore the city through books.

Very interesting site and I am a fan of reading. Lately I have been traveling and my companions have been books that I purchase at every bookstore I find.
