SUMMARY:📚 Books & Social 🍸
DESCRIPTION:Dubliners: Joys of Reading\n📚Reading books and discussing t
 hem are two distinct experiences! Conversations about books and sharing in
 sights help us better appreciate literature and enrich our lives.\n\nLet's
  grab a drink (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and discuss books we're current
 ly reading or have recently enjoyed—whether poetry\, fiction\, or non-fi
 ction. Bring your physical book or e-reader.\n\nThere's no formal structur
 e or agenda—just books and good conversation.💬\n\nIt's a perfect plac
 e to get book recommendations and rediscover your reading momentum if you'
 ve hit a slump. We welcome readers of all backgrounds and interests!\n\n
 ⚠️**Something Happened?**\nIf something unpleasant happened to you\, i
 t may happen to others. Even if it seems minor\, don't hesitate to reach o
 ut to me.\n\n🔍 **How to find us?**\n\n* When I reach the venue\, I'll l
 eave a comment in the meetup where the group is seated. Normally\, the boo
 king is in my name\, so you can ask the staff for the group.\n* If you're 
 unable to find us\, leave a comment in the meetup page. I'll be able to gu
 ide you.\n\nWe highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up c
 onversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature a
 nd reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event!\n\nAs an 
 organizer\, I'm always looking for feedback about the event and suggestion
 s for new events\, so feel free to suggest ideas to me. 💡\nI look forwa
 rd to seeing you all! 😊

 pen\n7PM-8PM - Lecture by Chris Morash\n8PM-8.30PM - Q&A\n\nDublin's pubs 
 have long been celebrated as the heart of Ireland's literary culture\, but
  did they also hold it back? In this entertaining and thought-provoking ta
 lk\, **Professor Christopher Morash** explores how the city's famous pub c
 ulture shaped generations of writers while also excluding women\, encourag
 ing excess\, and fostering a culture of creative frustration. Filled with 
 colourful stories and surprising insights\, this is a fresh look at one of
  Dublin's most enduring literary myths.\n\nProfessor Christopher Morash is
  the Seamus Heaney Professor of Irish Writing at Trinity College Dublin an
 d a leading scholar of Irish literature\, theatre\, and cultural history. 
 A Fellow of Trinity College Dublin and Member of the Royal Irish Academy\,
  he is the author of numerous books\, including Dublin: A Writer’s City\
 , Yeats on Theatre\, and A History of Irish Theatre\, 1601–2000.\n\nHis 
 research explores Irish writing and culture\, with particular interests in
  theatre\, literary history\, media\, and the relationship between writing
  and place.\n\n**Location:** I will add once the event page updates the lo
 cation\n\nSee you all and pints after talks! 🍺
