About us

Do you enjoy reading Pushkin, Turgenev, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Chekov, Gorky et al...? If so, then this Meetup is for you. We're a friendly group of fellow readers who meet every four or five weeks at the Los Altos Library. All readings and discussions in English only. We also welcome members who can read the works in original Russian - please join us - your insights will enrich our group!

Note: we have unfortunately experienced a barrage of duplicate and seemingly automated accounts joining the group, so organizer approval is now required to join. If you are a real person, you have nothing to worry about. The organizer (Alex) typically checks his e-mail once a day, sometimes even more often.

No topic -- if it is at least laterally (and our understanding of "laterally" is quite liberal) related to the book, the author, the environment, etc. -- is an off-topic, but please maintain a respectful tone. Similarly, no opinion is off limits, but (see above).

TL;DR Welcome, and enjoy!
