[HOW THE EVENT WORKS]: The "gathering time" is like a "doors open" time and the start-time for the event. Attendees begin arriving at 6:30pm but everyone's schedule differs so don't worry if you can only make it by 7:30pm. Momentum builds towards the event between 6:30 and 7:30. Pre-event banter, snacks, drinks, and/or (according to taste) some looking around of our spacious space's book collection!

The venue is our private space on our Thursday gathering-days.

The main discussion starts at 7:30 and ends at 9:00. Those who wish to continue discussing will continue in the space as early-departers leave. By or before about 9:45pm, the remnants of the gathering clear out of the building. Some people who wish to, head head to a "second round" near Jongno3ga Station Exit 7/8...

[ENTRY FEE]
Zero. There is no entry fee or other special requirements to join this event, except these: (1.) You have read the book, (2.) You can discuss the book in English, (3.) You are willing to speak, (4.) You are respectful of the group and everyone in it.
