**📚 The ReadingRiot BookClub Gennaio – *L’insostenibile leggerezza dell’essere*** Per il primo appuntamento del nuovo anno, ci immergiamo in uno dei grandi romanzi del Novecento: **L’insostenibile leggerezza dell’essere** di **Milan Kundera**. Un libro che intreccia amore, desiderio, libertà e responsabilità, mettendo continuamente in dialogo le scelte individuali con il peso della storia collettiva. Attraverso le vite dei suoi personaggi, Kundera ci invita a riflettere su cosa significhi scegliere, restare fedeli (o no), essere liberi, accettare le conseguenze delle proprie decisioni. È una lettura intensa ma scorrevole, perfetta da leggere o rileggere durante le vacanze di Natale, con il tempo necessario per lasciarla sedimentare e arrivare all’incontro con pensieri, domande e passaggi sottolineati. Durante l’incontro condivideremo impressioni, riflessioni ed emozioni emerse dalla lettura. Il BookClub è uno spazio aperto e informale: non servono competenze letterarie, ma solo la voglia di ascoltare e confrontarsi. L’incontro è aperto a tutte/i, anche a chi non ha terminato il libro: ogni punto di vista è benvenuto. 🗝️ **Temi di discussione** * il valore delle scelte individuali * leggerezza vs pesantezza dell’esistenza * libertà vs costrizione * amore, fedeltà e identità * storia collettiva vs destino personale 📅 **Quando** Venerdì 23 gennaio – ore 19:00 📍 **Dove** **Open – Porta Romana -** *Viale Monte Nero 6, Milano* Uno spazio accogliente e conviviale, ideale per leggere, discutere e condividere idee davanti a un buon bicchiere. 🍷 Durante l’evento è incluso **aperitivo + drink** 💰 **Costo: 10€** \- da pagare direttamente al locale Porta il libro (cartaceo o digitale) oppure arriva semplicemente con la voglia di ascoltare e condividere. ✨ **Posti limitati** – conferma la tua partecipazione su Meetup per riservare il tuo posto. Ci vediamo tra le pagine!

Hello everybody, I usually look for events on Saturdays but I can hardly ever find any, so I asked myself, "Why don't I organise one ?" The idea is to meet at **Next Bar in Via Crema 7** (Very close to P.ta Romana underground station / yellow line) at **18:00** and hang out there for some time. You can also enjoy drinks and eat for 12 Euros (p.s. the buffet is mind-blowing). Guests are required to buy their first drink upon entry. I kindly encourage you to RSVP during the week if you can. I really hope to meet you on Saturday! Don't worry if you can't see many people who've RSVPed, the event is advertised on other platforms, so there will be plenty of people to mingle with. When you get there ask for **Riccardo**. Feel free to WhatsApp me at **+39 334 283 1963** During the event, you'll have the opportunity to join our WhatsApp group by scanning QR codes displayed on the tables to stay in touch.
