From The Dreamers' Classic Book Club

Hi everyone, this session will be one to discuss our October/fall reads and to mention what got us into this season's vibes! Weather it is about horrors and gothic and unsetteling tales, or about cozy ones that make you curl up with a book, please bring your recommendations and your speculations about the literature you have recently loved. 🎃 As always, feel free to bring along a physical copy of your book for our tradition of a group photo and to share the joy of the cover with others! 📚 **P.S.** This is a small book club, and your absence can make a big difference! Please sign up only if you really plan to make it, and cancel well in advance if your plans change so that others will have a chance to join as well. Thank you\~ 🎃

ET SI ON SE LISAIT NOS EXTRAITS FAVORIS ?

ET SI ON SE LISAIT NOS EXTRAITS FAVORIS ?

Sun, Oct 25, 3:30 PM
From Club de lecture - Les Mots Passants
4.9

* Que diriez-vous d'un nouvel épisode de notre petite formule de "lecture plaisir" à haute voix ? Je vous en rappelle le principe : Chacun apporte un extrait de roman qu'il chérit particulièrement, le lit à tous, puis, sur quelques indices, tente de faire deviner qui en est l'auteur/e, et enfin, s'il le souhaite, tente l'explication du pourquoi de cet attrait particulier pour ces mots partagés. Afin de jouer pleinement le jeu, chacun apporte le livre dont est issu l'extrait (5 pages max.) en masquant sa couverture et a en tête 2-3 choses notables ( ou plus ;) ) sur son auteur/e pour répondre aux questions des oreilles attentives qui chercheront son identité. **Inscription** Ne vous inscrivez, s’il vous plaît, que si vous êtes sûr/e d'être présent/e le jour J. et si vous avez un extrait chouchou (parce que beau/marquant/questionnant/drôle/troublant ...etc ... etc) à partager. Au plaisir de se rencontrer, débattre et faire naître de nouvelles envies de lecture !

Édition 51: La Marque de Frida Isberg

Édition 51: La Marque de Frida Isberg

Sat, Nov 7, 4:00 PM
From Les lectures d’ailleurs
4.9

Pour notre prochaine rencontre, nous lirons *La Marque,* premier roman de la jeune auteure islandaise Frida Isberg. Couronné par le Prix des libraires et nominé pour de nombreux grands prix en Islande, *La Marque* est une dystopie polyphonique glaçante de réalisme et terriblement actuelle. Reykjavík, Islande. Dans une société divisée, en perte de sens et de confiance, un test d’empathie, gage de fiabilité morale, est mis en place. Les personnes non marquées – n’ayant pas réussi le test ou refusant de s’y plier – sont petit à petit mises au ban de la société, se voyant refuser l’accès à un emprunt, à certains postes, voire à certains quartiers. Il ne reste désormais plus que quelques jours avant que le test ne devienne peut-être obligatoire pour tous. Quelques jours déterminants pour Vetur, Eyja, Tristan et Óli, pris dans l’engrenage d’une société divisée, aux règles du jeu explosives. Insécurité, démons du passé, ambitions politiques, addiction, chacun doit lutter, à sa façon, dans une course effrénée contre la montre. Merci d'avoir lu le livre avant la rencontre afin de partager vos impressions, sentiments et pensées. À la fin de la séance, nous choisirons collectivement la prochaine lecture et, pour ceux qui veulent, nous poursuivrons la discussion autour d’un petit dîner dans un restaurant.
