Hola y bienvenidos a nuestro próximo meetup de filosofía de Sócrates Café! ¿Deseas una comprensión más profunda de ti mismo y del mundo? ¿Valoras el diálogo profundo, honesto y respetuoso? Si es así, entonces este encuentro será muy interesante para ti. 1. ¿DONDE NOS ENCONTRAMOS? Cafè de l'Òpera La Rambla, 74 near metro Liceu. https://goo.gl/maps/rgmRhs4WMD3ciASk7 Suban al cuarto arriba, hay que pedir y pagar en la barra antes de subir. 2. ¿CUANDO NOS ENCONTRAMOS? los martes de 19:30 a 21:00 (las otras sessions están en ingles). 3. ¿CUÁNTOS NOS REUNIMOS? Hasta 25 personas. Las reuniones comenzarán a las 7.30 pm. Por favor, lleguen a tiempo. Empezaremos puntualmente. 4. ¿QUE PASA EN LAS REUNIONES? En cada reunión tenemos una discusión usando el método socrático: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method Hacemos, respondemos y discutimos preguntas e ideas para estimular el pensamiento crítico y ampliar nuestras perspectivas con algunos conceptos y pensamientos en los que nunca hemos pensado. El objetivo principal de estos encuentros es enriquecernos con las perspectivas de los demás, no convencer a los demás sobre nuestras propias perspectivas. Nuestras reuniones son sobre nuestras propias filosofías de la vida y no necesariamente lo que los grandes filósofos y académicos han dicho o escrito. No es un club de debate o una plataforma para hacer proselitismo. En cambio, ponemos énfasis en cuestionar, tener una mentalidad abierta y desafiar nuestras propias suposiciones mientras escuchamos y respetamos las opiniones compartidas por otros. Una reunión de Socrates Café se considera un éxito cuando los participantes dejan una discusión con muchas más preguntas de las que tenían al principio. 5. ¿QUÉ TEMA SE DISCUTE EN EL MEETUP? Los participantes sugieren temas al principio de cada reunión. Luego votamos y elegimos el tema más popular de ese evento para la discusión. No es necesaria la formación académica en filosofía; Solo entusiasmo por intercambiar ideas y puntos de vista. Algunos ejemplos de temas elegidos en reuniones anteriores: * ¿Por qué ideales vale la pena morir? * ¿Por qué nunca estamos satisfechos? * ¿Por qué los seres humanos están informados de que la sociedad está yendo mal y los líderes están bien informados y las cosas continúan? * ¿Es necesaria la identidad? * ¿Qué es el precio ético y la codicia? * ¿Qué es post-verdad? * ¿Cómo puede ser que las personas en las sociedades democráticas estén tan obsesionadas con el poder? (Deseo de ser diferente, mejor, más fuerte que los demás). * ¿Qué es la amistad? 6. ¿QUIÉN PUEDE PARTICIPAR EN ESTE MEETUP? Cualquiera es más que bienvenido a unirse a nuestros encuentros. Nuestros eventos reúnen a personas de diferentes orígenes, diferentes culturas, mientras que no es obligatorio tener antecedentes filosóficos. Nuestros participantes habituales son personas que tienen deseo de una comprensión más profunda de sí mismos y del mundo. Personas que valoran el diálogo profundo, honesto y respetuoso.

A casual (but coordinated) coffee break to meet new friends, take a Zoom break, and get your AM caffeine fix. Stop by for a few minutes or stay the whole time. Bring a friend or wander in solo. Come for the coffee and company, or just bring a book to read while surrounded by other in-real-life, community-seeking humans. Come by every Friday, or just when you happen to be in town. Make it whatever you need it to be that week. It's not an \*event\* per se, but we hope these Friday meet-ups can become a fixture of the bookshop! Gathering spot will be in the downstairs area of the bookshop (near the Community Library). Coffee and tea are 1.50€ and can be purchased at the cash register upstairs. Find more info on our Instagram (@backstorybookshop) or website (www.backstorybookshop.com).

**Join us in June for a book club discussion of The Summer Book by Tove Jansson, followed by coffee or drinks nearby.** We’re welcoming the summer with this lovely classic by the beloved Finnish writer, illustrator, and artist Tove Jansson — a book full of warm days, island light, sea air, and slow conversations. Published in 1972, The Summer Book is a tender and joyful novel about a young girl, her grandmother, and the island where they spend the summer together. Through short episodes, Jansson captures nature, childhood, aging, grief, freedom, and the bond between generations. Come celebrate the beginning of longer days and warmer weather with us as we discuss this lovely book at Backstory Bookshop (downstairs). We’ll continue the evening with a casual get-together over coffee or drinks nearby. New readers are always welcome!

However\, if it rains\, I will take the registered participants to a café nearby \(in case it rains before the event starts and you are a registered participants write to me on whatsapp so that I can send you the exact location\)\. Those who came but didn’t sign up are still very welcome to organize themselves\, choose another café\, and enjoy their own book discussions together\. \- If you realize you can’t make it\, I kindly ask you to cancel your participation at least 1 hour before the event\. This really helps me offer the spot to someone else and avoids me traveling for nothing\, as I don’t live nearby\.

I don’t have any agreements with cafés—we simply want to be respectful guests\, avoid any issues\, and keep the option open to return to places we enjoy in the future\. **Make sure to also follow us on Instagram for Past events photos:** [Follow us on Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/thebookclubbcn/) @thebookclubbcn *\*By attending to our Events you automatically consent to have your pictures taken and shared for promotional purposes.* *\*The Book Club is a safe & positive space for everyone to share and grow together, we do not allow the consumption of alcohol or smoking during the event.*

Welcome, readers! Our June read is ***Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible*** ***Voyage*** **by Alfred Lansing.** A work of nonfiction, and one of the most astonishing survival stories in history, we follow Sir Ernest Shackleton and his crew after their ship is crushed by Antarctic ice. Stranded in one of the harshest environments on Earth, the men endure months of isolation, freezing temperatures, and near starvation—yet refuse to give up hope. Lansing brings their ordeal to life through vivid detail and firsthand accounts, capturing both the brutality of nature and the resilience of the human spirit. At its core, the story is a powerful testament to leadership, perseverance, and the unbreakable will to survive against impossible odds. Looking forward to discussing with everyone! We will meet at Zaftig Brewing Co in their event room in the back. We are welcome to bring in our own food, but **all** **drinks must be purchased at the bar.** Happy reading! 📖

This month we’ll be reading Goddess of the River by Vaishnavi Patel. Feel free to come even if you don’t finish the book!

Early-bird coffee and conversation at [Grandview Grind](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063534163841)!

**Our July novel is: *Listen for the Lie* by Amy Tintera** **This month’s novel was named one of the best books of 2024. It’s a domestic thriller with crime, mystery, and murder, told from women’s perspectives. The story includes a detective, an unreliable narrator, and plenty of suspense. The book is 352 pages in print and 9 hours and 18 minutes on audiobook.** What if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn't matter? After Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all, and if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in town. It’s been years since that horrible night, a night Lucy can’t remember anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life. But now the phenomenally huge hit true crime podcast "Listen for the Lie," and its too-good looking host Ben Owens, have decided to investigate Savvy’s murder for the show’s second season. Lucy is forced to return to the place she vowed never to set foot in again to solve her friend’s murder, even if she is the one that did it. The truth is out there, if we just listen.

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
