"Auf Erden sind wir kurz grandios" von Ocean Vuong (2019)
Hi,
dieses Mal besprechen wir "Auf Erden sind wir kurz grandios" von Ocean Vuong (2019).
Hier der Link zum Inhalt und Buch :
https://www.penguin.de/buecher/ocean-vuong-auf-erden-sind-wir-kurz-grandios/taschenbuch/9783442770083?utm_campaign=OM_PRHVG_Thema_PerformanceMax_affklick&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20412371505&gbraid=0AAAAADzbCNMO5aUU5jhlIoSf3rzncMQfy&gclid=Cj0KCQjw9obIBhCAARIsAGHm1mSu4BBL-GPVOKE3ERICCj-AlEsyUZMxnIQCk1pD6DJn-02VvnQr1i4aArr5EALw_wcB
Wir treffen uns diesmal im Cafe Milagro in der Bergmanstrasse. :)
Reading Party ☕️📚
\*\*\*\*\*\*
***For address and more details see the website.***
\*\*\*\*\*\*
**Event Info:**
Bring along your **current book to read** (or something **creative** to work on 📚🎨🧵) and join us for this mix of a shared focus time + discussion.
\- 11:00\-11:30 \- Meet & greet
\- 11:30\-12:30 \- Silent focus time
\- 12:30 \- Discussion of books/ projects over coffee
**Drinks & snacks are included** ☕️
* **To reserve your place, a ticket (€9,90/event) or a community pass (only €14,90/MONTH) [from the website](www.pausify.org) is required**
* **Attendance here doesn’t show all sign-ups from other platforms.**
***FAQ: Why does it cost money if I bring my own project?***
Because we rent a beautiful, central space for every event. Ever thought your monthly apartment rent was too high? Well, multiply that – that’s what commercial spaces in big cities like Berlin cost *per hour*.
Of course, if all you want is just some quiet time, your home or a library is perfect. But if you’d like to focus & connect with others in an inspiring space – with drinks, snacks included – that’s what your ticket helps to cover.
See pics from our events below - and on our Instagram: **[@Pausify (Co-Reading Space)](https://www.instagram.com/pausify_org/) ☕️**📚
**[Pausify Co-Reading Space Website](www.pausify.org/)**
