Two Tales by Tolstoy...

We will be discussing 2 short stories by Leo Tolstoy— "How Much Land Does a Man Need?" and "What Men Live By".
In these stories Tolstoy contrasts a life driven by endless acquisition with a life grounded in love, arguing that humans live not by what they accumulate, but by how they relate to one another.

Required Reading
"How Much Land Does a Man Need?" (Roughly 20 pages)
"What Men Live By" (Roughly 30 pages)

2. Be Concise
Keep comments brief, on topic, and allow space for others to join in.
3. Do the Reading
If you have not done the reading for the week you are welcome to attend and listen to the discussion, but out of respect for those who have read, you will not be permitted to participate in the discussion.

Finally, Please update your RSVP if you are no longer able to attend the event.

• inaccurate RSVPs make it difficult for coordinators to plan successful events
• inaccurate RSVPs prevent waitlisted individuals from attending
