📚 The Death of Ivan Ilyich – November Book Club Meeting

📚 The Death of Ivan Ilyich – November Book Club Meeting

Sun, Nov 29, 10:00 PM
From The Paris Reading Society

Join us for our next gathering of **The Paris Reading Society**! ☕📖 This month, we'll be reading *The Death of Ivan Ilyich* by Leo Tolstoy, a short but thought-provoking classic that explores life, death, and what it means to live a meaningful life. We'll meet over coffee to share our thoughts, impressions, and interpretations of the book in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. There's no need to be a literary expert or prepare anything formal! Just make sure you've read the book beforehand and come ready for an open discussion. **Participation is completely free**, and everyone is welcome, whether it's your first meeting or you've been joining us for a while. You'll just need to bring your curiosity and cover your own coffee or drinks. We haven't chosen the cafĂ© yet, but we'll announce the exact location closer to the meeting date. Looking forward to seeing you and hearing what you think of Tolstoy's story! 📚☕
