📚 Active Muslims Book Club❗📖

From the quiet nooks of our cozy meeting spot to the infinite parallel universes of literature, we’re gathering for the inaugural session of the Active Muslims Book Club.

The aim is to trial our book club for a few months and see if such an activity by our community raises enough interest. We will vote for a new book during the last week before each month's meeting (details to follow).

📖 The Book: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
What if you could try out all the lives you could have lived and pick one? Would you choose differently?

🧠 Theme: Regrets, choices, infinite possibilities, and parallel lives
📅 Date: Wed 11th November
📍 Location: Foyles, 107 Charing
cross road
⌚ The Meet: 6:15pm (To grab hot drinks)
🎬 Discussion Starts: 6:30pm

✊ Note: Active Muslims is equally about focusing on the actual activity. In this case, this is a high-octane intellectual debrief, not a passive listening session where the only danger should be the possibility of a paper cut from excited page turns. It is advised to approach this event with the intention of deep philosophical reflection and the purpose of defending your character hot takes. We expect a "paced" discussion—keep the debate flowing, articulate your thoughts, and try not to spiral into an existential crisis midway through chapter five.

📖 READERS & RECRUITS
Whether you’ve read the book three times, listened to the audiobook at 2x speed, or skim-read the plot summary on the bus over, all are welcome! Feel free to invite your friends, family, or fellow bookworms who enjoy a lively discussion.

🎟️ TICKETS & FEES

• FREE to attend!
• Preparation: Try to have finished (or at least started) the book so you can fully jump into the debate!
• RSVP: Please confirm your attendance early via Meetup so we can reserve enough seating.
