📚 Khobar English Book Club — Meetup #3 Every week at Khobar English Book Club, our members meet to discuss a piece of literature that we are all reading - the description for this week's meetup is below. 📖 Current Read: *The Pearl*, John Steinbeck A fable of hope, greed, and human nature, The Pearl tells the story of a poor pearl diver whose life is forever changed by a single discovery. What begins as a dream of opportunity gradually becomes a powerful exploration of ambition, social inequality, and the price we pay for pursuing our desires. Beautifully written and deceptively simple, Steinbeck's classic novella invites readers to reflect on wealth, destiny, family, and what it means to live a good life. A short book with big ideas.. and plenty to discuss. 🗓 Meetup Details **Date:** Saturday, 04 July at 11:00am **Reading Goal:** Before the meetup, please read the second half of the novella (Chapters 4, 5, and 6) **Location:** SA'AH Cafe 🔍 Where to Find the Book The novella is widely available online as a PDF and can also be ordered online in physical format. You may also find copies at Jarir Bookstore. 💬 What to Expect This is not a super structured event, but generally we’ll chat about: • the book — parts of the story/ideas/characters/writing that we found interesting, meaningful, funny, thought-provoking etc. Also, aspects of the book that maybe we didn't like! • books, literature, reading in general. If you feel inclined, you can bring: • specific passages you liked • questions or discussion prompts • suggestions for the next book 🤝 A Quick Note on RSVP These events are **free and informa**l, but **spots are limited** In the spirit of community and courtesy, if you’ve clicked "Going" but can’t make it anymore, please switch to "Not Going" so someone else can take your spot. 📞 Questions? If you have any questions about the book, the meetup, or the book club in general, feel free to contact me via WhatsApp: **+966 50 477 7522**
