Dubliners: Joys of Reading 📚✨
Welcome to Dubliners, a cozy haven for those who find solace in stories. Here, we come together not just to read, but to immerse ourselves in the narratives that shape our lives. Each book becomes a doorway, and our vibrant discussions transform into journeys through the realms of fiction and non-fiction, blending imagination with our shared experiences.
As the day unfolds, we venture into Dublin’s literary heartbeat, attending book launches, engaging plays, poetry slams and irrestible conversations. A great time!
Join us at Dubliners, where each story enriches our bond and invites you into a community that celebrates the joy of reading together! 📚

📚Reading books and discussing them are two distinct experiences! Conversations about books and sharing insights help us better appreciate literature and enrich our lives.
Let's grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and discuss books we're currently reading or have recently enjoyed—whether poetry, fiction, or non-fiction. Bring your physical book or e-reader.
There's no formal structure or agenda—just books and good conversation.💬
It's a perfect place to get book recommendations and rediscover your reading momentum if you've hit a slump. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and interests!
⚠️Something Happened?
If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. Even if it seems minor, don't hesitate to reach out to me.🔍 How to find us?
- When I reach the venue, I'll leave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally, the booking is in my name, so you can ask the staff for the group.
- If you're unable to find us, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to guide you.
We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event!
As an organizer, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestions for new events, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡
I look forward to seeing you all! 😊Note: There is another popular meetup amongst readers that happens before this event from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM in MoLI called The Literati Dublin. Do checkout!
- 🎦 IFI DOCUMENTARY FESTIVAL 2025: ORWELL: 2+2=5 🎬IFI- Irish Fim Centre, Dublin 2
Paid Event - Ticket (IFI)
Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5, directed by Raoul Peck (I am not your Negro, 2016), re-examines the life, work, and legacy of George Orwell through the lens of today’s turbulent political climate. Blending archival material with Peck’s signature essayistic style, the film draws powerful parallels between Orwell’s warnings about authoritarianism and the rise of misinformation, surveillance, and populism in the 21st century. As Peck interrogates the distortion of truth and the weaponisation of language, Orwell: 2 + 2 = 5 becomes both a searing critique of contemporary politics and a call to vigilance against the erosion of reality.
Notes by David O’Mahony.
Screening as part of the IFI Documentary Festival 2025.I have booked the ticket in the E row.
We will meet in IFI before 15 minutes to start of the movie. See you all soon!
