Books & Coffee: Travel diaries and discoveries

Sun, Oct 4, 2:00 PM
From The Dreamers' Classic Book Club
5.0

Stories of people discovering places, whether it is a big city, Paris, or a small village or unknown communities! Books, letters, and journals that talk of food, culture, places, experiences, or literature that allows us to travel through the eyes of writers who ventured beyond the familiar. It can be fiction or non-fiction. As long as the feeling of discovery is there, you are in the right place! As always, feel free to bring along a physical copy of your book for our tradition of a group photo and to share the joy of the cover with others! 📚 **P.S.** This is a small book club, and your absence can make a big difference! Please sign up only if you really plan to make it, and cancel well in advance if your plans change so that others will have a chance to join as well. Thank you\~ đŸŒč

Ce soir, dans le cadre du cycle gĂ©nĂ©ral, nous avons votĂ© : **1 - "Northanger Abbey" de Janes Austen** "Par sa gaucherie, ses rĂȘveries naĂŻves et son engouement pour les vieux chĂąteaux, Catherine Morland semble loin des modĂšles de vertu. Mais si cette jeune Bovary dĂ©licatement british n'a rien d'une hĂ©roĂŻne, c'est que Jane Austen s'amuse ! Et nous emporte, d'une plume malicieuse, d'un bout Ă  l'autre du plus moderne des romans austeniens.." Babelio **2 - "Cadavre exquis" de Augustina Bazterrica** "Un virus a fait disparaĂźtre la quasi-totalitĂ© des animaux de la surface de la Terre. Pour pallier la pĂ©nurie de viande, des scientifiques ont créé une nouvelle race, Ă  partir de gĂ©nomes humains, qui servira de bĂ©tail pour la consommation. Ce roman est l’histoire d’un homme qui travaille dans un abattoir et ressent un beau jour un trouble pour une femelle de « premiĂšre gĂ©nĂ©ration ».." Babelio ***On peut lire l'un ou les deux livres programmĂ©s.*** **Pour les prĂ©sentations d'auteurs :** \- Richard nous fera une prĂ©sentation de Jane Austen pour donner du contexte Ă  nos discussions ; \- Margot fera une prĂ©sentation d'auteur soit d' Agustina Bazterrica pendant une dizaine de minutes\. **Pour les focus sur l'oeuvre :** \- Margot fait le focus sur l'oeuvre de" Cadavre exquis" ; - Je fais le focus sur l'oeuvre soit "Northanger Abbey" Et n'oubliez pas ! Partagez, si sous le souhaitez, quelques mots, passages et/ou citations qui vous ont marquĂ©s, touchĂ©s, et qui vous semblent importants Ă  partager avec le groupe et les participants. Enfin, inscrivez-vous, je vous prie, uniquement si vous ĂȘtes sĂ»rs d'ĂȘtre de la partie. Bien Ă  vous tous, bonnes lectures aussi, et Ă  bientĂŽt ! JĂ©lila PS : la participation pour des raisons de frais liĂ©s Ă  Meetup (240 euros par an) est de 2 euros par personne et par an. Mais elle reste facultative !

BOOKCLUB: Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs

BOOKCLUB: Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs

Thu, Oct 8, 5:00 PM
From Paris Book Lovers đŸ“šâ€ïž
5.0

Let's get together with a coffee or drink and discuss this book :) * Address to be announced. * Limited spaces to ensure a nice discussion. Please only join if you can attend. * **Confirmation and Location via our Whatsapp group :)** About the book: *Naked Lunch* is one of the most important novels of the twentieth century, a book that redefined not just literature but American culture. An unnerving tale of a narcotics addict unmoored in New York, Tangier, and ultimately a nightmarish wasteland known as Interzone, its formal innovation, taboo subject matter, and tour de force execution have exerted a significant influence on authors like Thomas Pynchon, J. G. Ballard, and William Gibson; on the relationship of art and obscenity; and on the shape of music, film, and media generally. Naked Lunch: The Restored Text includes many editorial corrections to errors present in previous editions, and incorporates Burroughs’s notes on the text, several essays he wrote over the years about the book, and an appendix of 20 percent new material and alternate drafts from the original manuscript, which predates the first published version. For the Burroughs enthusiast and the neophyte, this volume is a valuable and fresh experience of this classic of our culture.

BRING-YOUR-OWN-BOOK CLUB

BRING-YOUR-OWN-BOOK CLUB

Sun, Oct 4, 8:00 AM
From Paris Lit Up
4.7

A Sunday book club brought to you by Paris Lit Up. As a break from the Sunday Writing Sessions, join us at NeuviĂšme Sauvage for a Bring-Your-Own-Book Club, part of the final day of Paris Lit Up’s inaugural IGNITE! Festival and the launch of our new monthly book club. For this first session, there’s no assigned reading. Instead, bring a book of your own—something you’re currently reading, something you love, something you hate, something you’ve been meaning to finish, or simply something you’d like to talk about. From 10:00 to 12:00, we’ll get together over coffee and breakfast to talk books, swap recommendations, discover what everyone else has been reading, and share whatever has caught our attention lately. Fiction, poetry, nonfiction, graphic novels, essays, experimental writing and everything in between are welcome. This session will also officially launch Paris Lit Up’s monthly book club. During the morning, we’ll put forward suggestions and choose our first book together, which we’ll read over the following month and meet again to discuss in November. So bring a book, bring a recommendation, or simply bring yourself. You don’t need to have finished anything, prepared anything, or even know what you want to recommend—you’re just as welcome to come along, listen and discover something new to read. The Bring-Your-Own-Book Club is free to attend. NeuviĂšme Sauvage 20 Rue GĂ©rando, 75009 Paris Sunday 4 October, 10:00–12:00 When you arrive, go up two levels. You’ll find us on the top floor. All readers, genres and literary tastes are welcome. For more information: info@parislitup.com
