A Gentleman in Moscow - June 2026

Our First Gathering — A Gentleman in Moscow
Open Book meets for the first time on Thursday, June 4 at 7:00 PM.
We're gathering at Red Sea Eritrean & Ethiopian Restaurant in Oakland Park for dinner, wine, and our first discussion. The book is A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles — a witty, warm, and surprisingly profound novel about a Russian count sentenced to house arrest in a luxury hotel, and what he discovers about purpose, friendship, and what it means to live well under constraints you didn't choose.
It's the kind of book that's hard to put down and even harder to stop thinking about.
For this first meeting, I will lead the discussion, and I'm giving the group enough time to gain some members and read the book, but I'm hoping that someone else will volunteer to lead next month's meeting.
RSVP and come hungry. And please do your best to read the book (but if you can't you're still welcome).
