Un tavolo per 20 persone è riservato sotto il nome di Salvatore. Dunque, se non ci sono o se sarò in ritardo, potrete chiedere al barista. È un incontro informale, perché non è un evento strutturato, ma piuttosto un gruppo di persone che si riuniscono per parlare e praticare l'italiano.
Anche i nativi italiani sono benvenuti :) Tutto ciò che serve è un sorriso — e puoi anche portare un amico!

Let’s Talk About Love by Carl Wilson
**📚 Book Club Invitation: *Let’s Talk About Love* by Carl Wilson**
For our next meeting, we’ll be discussing *Let’s Talk About Love*, a sharp and surprisingly personal exploration of taste, culture, and why we like what we like.
Using Céline Dion as a starting point, Carl Wilson dives into questions of snobbery, authenticity, emotion, and how our preferences are shaped by identity, class, and culture.
If you’re interested in how taste connects to deeper questions about ourselves and society, this book offers plenty to reflect on and discuss.
📅 **Date:** Saturday, 23 May
⏰ **Time:** 11:30
📍 **Venue:** Carpe Diem, Avenue de Tervuren 13, 1040 Brussels
Expect an open and engaging discussion in a relaxed setting, with good coffee and good company.
As always, you’re welcome whether you finished the book or just want to join the conversation. Those who wish can stay for lunch afterwards.
🏡 **Book Club Home Rules**
1️⃣ You’re welcome even if you didn’t finish the book
2️⃣ We listen to understand, not to win
3️⃣ Curiosity, respect, and openness come first
Looking forward to another lively exchange of ideas.

*Occasionally, people reach out to me before the event, and I have always been grateful for that as it offers the opportunity to communicate with each other and to find the best and most gentle way for that person to join the group.*
*I would like to encourage everyone who struggles with this to contact me before. It would really be too bad if you can't join us, as it mostly gets better the second or third time you come.*

**THANK YOU AND SEE YOU ALL ON Saturday!**
Book Club Meeting: My Friends
For our third, we’ll be discussing My Friends by Fredrik Backman — a moving and heartfelt novel about friendship, art, and the ways people leave a mark on each other’s lives.
About the book:
In a quiet seaside town, a group of teenagers spend their days escaping difficult lives through art and their deep friendship with one another. One summer, a painting is created that will eventually become world-famous. Years later, the story behind that painting begins to surface, revealing the powerful bond between the friends who inspired it and the life-changing events that shaped them.
As past and present intertwine, the novel explores how friendships form us, how stories survive over time, and how a single moment of connection can echo across generations
Cinema Flagey : Amrum
**Cinema Flagey : Amrum**
23/05 @ 15h00
De twaalfjarige Nanning beleeft het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog op een eiland aan de uiterste rand van het Duitse Rijk. Zijn wereld stort in, terwijl het leven doorgaat. De gefictionaliseerde jeugdherinneringen van Neuer Deutscher Film-meester Hark Bohm – en een belangrijke bron voor zijn latere werk.
Amrum, in de lente van 1945. De twaalfjarige Nanning woont met zijn familie op de Duitse Waddeneilanden. Zijn moeder is een fervente nazi-aanhanger; zijn vader een Obersturmbannführer die altijd aan het front is. Het Duitse Rijk van de nazi’s is de enige wereld die Nanning ooit heeft gekend, dus als de Tweede Wereldoorlog bijna voorbij is, stort zijn wereld in. In het laatste shot van de film kijkt een oude man uit over de zee.
Hark Bohm, op wiens jeugd Amrum is gebaseerd, overleed op 14 november 2025. Dit is een passend slotakkoord van zijn filmografie, want Bohm begon in de jaren zeventig met het maken van films voor kinderen (Tschetan, derIndianerjunge, 1973) en jongvolwassenen (Nordsee ist Mordsee, IFFR 2026), wat hij altijd is blijven doen. Amrum laat zien welke ervaringen de basis vormden voor zijn kijk op de kindertijd – en het verleden, het heden en de toekomst van Duitsland.

Sketch & Chill 🎨🌿 (TBC🌤️)
What’s up Friends! 👋
If the weather behaves, we’re going for a chill drawing meetup: good vibes, new people, sketching side by side ✨
📍 Where
We meet at Park Cinquantenaire, in front of the "Tour de Tournai" 🏰 (the tiny castle-looking thingy).
From there, we’ll pick a spot that feels right - usually somewhere outdoors 🌿
Can’t find us? 🤷🏻 Ping me here.
💡 The Idea
Simple: we sit, we draw, we chat. No teacher, no pressure. Just people sketching next to each other and sharing tips if it happens naturally.
Bring whatever you like: notebook + pen ✏️ or full watercolor chaos 🎨💦
All styles, all levels welcome.
Don't forget to dress for the weather (we’re usually outside) and bring something to sit on - blanket, mat, foldable chair… whatever keeps you comfy.
⏱️ Timing
We start at 14:00. Stay as long as you like.
Joining later? Drop a message in the chat in case we’ve moved 😊
Once the sketches are done (or we need a break), we might grab a drink if we feel like it.
💸 Price
Free. Just show up and draw.
🚦 On the waitlist but really want to join? Or got questions? DM me.
📢 Extra info might drop in the group chat or via DM 💬 Check your messages the day before so you don’t miss anything important 👀
🐈⬛ The Friends Code:
👉 Draw what you want, how you want - no judgement
👉 Sharing tips = welcome, not expected
👉 Small groups = chill vibes
👉 Got cool materials? Bring them, flex them
👉 Keep your valuables close — it’s easy to get carried away
👉 Can’t make it? Cancel in time so someone else can join
👉 Don't show up if you are on the waitlist
See you there 😉

Jules and Jim, the Book!
By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year.
The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars.
You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.
You Exist Too Much by Zaina Arafat
[Columbus library link to book](https://cml.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C3351321)
Location: The Goat River South
219 S High St, Columbus, OH 43215
Street parking is free on Sundays
[Menu](https://static1.squarespace.com/static/686d3ed16745133042482c5f/t/68ff654dbb03b96875430bde/1761568077220/all_brunch-20250311.pdf)
Book summary:
On a hot day in Bethlehem, a twelve-year-old Palestinian-American girl is yelled at by a group of men outside the Church of the Nativity. She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.
Feel Good Friday: POWER BALLAD at the Gateway Film Center + SHAKE NO. 8!
Join us as we get together to see Paul Rudd in the latest comedy-drama-musical from John Carney, POWER BALLAD! The film follows a washed-up wedding singer, a fading boy band singer and a stolen hit song. Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event:
DESCRIPTION: Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves. Power Ballad is written/directed by John Carney, the master of the modern musical and creative mind behind Once, Begin Again and Sing Street! It stars Paul Rudd, Nick Jonas, Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Havana Rose Liu and Jack Reynor.
BUZZ & ACCLAIM: The film premiered to rave reviews at this year’s Dublin International Film Festival where critics call it “a sure-fired crowd-pleaser” that “just might be the feel-good hit of the year!” Others say, “Paul Rudd delivers a career-best performance in this charmer” that’s both “hilarious and deeply moving!”
SUMMER OF ICE CREAM, VOL 2: SHAKE NO. 8! Ranked the #1 Ice Cream Shop in Columbus in 2024, this is the perfect place to kick off our Summer of Ice Cream and grab a sweet treat after the show! Their menu features an array of traditional, specialty and vegan shakes, hot cocoa, and more! You can check out their full menu here: [https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php](https://www.shakeno8.com/menu.php)
PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing and will meet in the lobby area about 20 minutes before the show. Once showtime is announced, advance ticket purchase is advised! Once you have yours, please list your seat number in the Comments section of this event. We'll head to nearby Shake No. 8 immediately following the show!
