🪐 THANK YOU, EARTHLINGS!

Last night’s book club was 42% chaos, 58% pure joy - exactly how the Guide intended! 🧠

A massive THANK YOU to:
🤍Our first-timers (so glad you didn’t panic!)
🤍Regulars who know where their towels are.
🤍The winner who earned the sticker.
🤍Fogel bar for hosting us.

💗 Stay tuned for our next adventure!

📖BOOK CLUB: YOUR LAST CHANCE TO ESCAPE BOREDOM

Still believe that:
❔ Literature must be "profound" and "serious"?
❔ Towels are just for showering?
❔ 42 is merely a number?

Tomorrow at 5PM, Fogel Bar will destroy these misconceptions once and for all.
💗Tag your +1 (or risk being the Earth that gets demolished). I think now is the time to invite someone💗

〰️Classics that are not covered in school!

✔️Physics bows to the number 42 - the official answer to life's ultimate question.
✔️Every 60 seconds, another reader realizes the universe is someone's glitchy beta version.

Thank you for a thought-provoking discussion! ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who joined the session to discuss “Animal farm” by George Orwell! 🍀

For those who couldn’t make it this time, we missed you! Let us know what you thought of the book:

❤️ - I really liked it!
🙈 - Not bad but I would like to read something different.

Why does Animal Farm still blow our minds?🤩

Tomorrow we’re discussing this at the book club - in English, but keep it fun and simple! Join us online (https://calendar.app.google/CPhSyciVzyEZKDD68) at 12 pm.

P.S. It’ll be like 1984 but without the surveillance 🌟

Hey book lovers! Only 3 days left until we dive into George Orwell’s Animal Farm together😳

🕐Let’s start the conversation early!

1️⃣Why do you think Orwell used animals to tell this story? What makes the allegory so powerful?

2️⃣ Have you spotted any historical parallels yet? (Hint: think about revolutions and power struggles…)

If you haven’t started reading yet—don’t worry! It’s a short but intense book, so you’ve still got time👌

A little lifehack if you’ve lost the desire to read: go to the library! 🤩

✨ Today I visited the Russian National Library, and the atmosphere there is incredibly motivating for studying/reading.

What do you do when you have reader’s block*? Share your tips! ⬇️

*reader’s block is like *writer’s block*, but for readers – you want to read, but nothing "clicks."❤️‍🩹💗

🤩I was able to purchase "Animal Farm" and it comes with some interesting illustrations. What are your thoughts on this?

I'm attaching the standard PDF versions for you!

⭐️ Voting results and meeting dates:

🔺April 6 at 12 pm on Google Meet we discuss "Animal Farm" by George Orwell.

🔺April 20 at 5 pm at the bar "fogel" (@metafogel) we discuss "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams.

It's time to start reading! ❣️

My goal is to create a friendly and supportive atmosphere where everyone can enjoy the discussion, regardless of their language proficiency. Your presence and interest already enhance the experience for all of us! 😍
