Movies & Discussions

The "classical" bookswap is simple: * We meet in a café and put the book(s) we brought down on the tables. * We browse and discuss the books with one another while sipping coffee or hot chocolate, or eating cake. * We write our names down on any books we’d like to take home (post-its and pens provided). * At the end of the evening, negotiate any books that are contended and take a new-to-you book home! Books/happiness shared are books/happiness multiplied! A Bookswap is 10 times better than a Book Club because you can talk about ALL the books instead of just one! This is a great way to give your books a new home and make room for new books: that book you feel guilty for not having read even though it's been sitting on your bedside table for the last 5 years, the book you liked but didn't love, the book you loved so much you want everyone to read it, the book you somehow own three copies of, that book you absolutely hated even though everyone else loves it, and so on. Moreover, you will meet fellow readers, get a new book or two, and several book recommendations. We’ve often had readers experience books they wouldn't normally buy and enjoy it. GROUP EXPECTATIONS for PLEASANT SWAPPING * Please bring a book! It's not that you bring one you take one, but do try your best to bring something. * Books stay on the tables, open for sharing, until you are ready to leave so that everyone can have a look. We are notably not first come first serve. Please wait until you are leaving to bag the book. * If two or more people want the only copy of a book, negotiate. Maybe one of you reads it first and then gives it to the others. Or perhaps they have found another book instead. Or leave it to fate and toss a coin. The best part: now you have found somebody whose taste you can really admire. In any case, please don't walk away with a book with several names on it without letting the others know. These negotiations are fun and easy, so don't shy away from a book because there's already a name on it, and feel free to put your name on as many books as you find interesting. It's not that you bring one you take one; you may take as many as you can negotiate. * Political discussions with consent: make sure the people you are talking to would like to have a political discussion with you. * Please respect this space as first and foremost a community for connecting readers over their love of books and reading, stories, and narratives of all sorts. Please be respectful of tastes and opinions. * If something is bothering you, please reach out to the organizers, and we'll do our best to resolve it. * Lastly, don't expect your book back. It will find a new home. If you love it, let it go. Major LANGUAGES (and genres) of this meetup: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian; Fiction, Non-Fiction, Serious Reading, Light Fun, “classics", Krimis, Booker winners, Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Self-Help and more. You never know who can read what languages, and there's no accounting for taste. We are a delightful and international group of readers. We look forward to swapping with you!

Hallo, es ist wieder so weit, der zweite Freitag im Mai ist diese Woche! Deshalb habe ich im Neffes draußen im Innenhof für uns reserviert. Wenn das Wetter schlecht werden sollte, haben wir die Ecke vor dem - ausgeschalteten - Fernseher für uns :-). Ich freue mich schon, euch wieder persönlich zu sehen! Und hier der übliche Ankündigungstext: Unser zweimonatliches Treffen steht wieder an! An jedem zweiten Freitag eines ungeraden Monats treffen wir Selbständige, Unternehmer und Freiberufler aus der IT uns wieder um 19:00 Uhr im Neffes. Bei einem gemütlichen Zusammensein werden wir uns über fast alle Themen unterhalten. Der Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf den beruflichen Themen. Z. B. wie gehen andere mit den Kunden und deren Mitarbeitern um, was sind die neuesten Insider Infos von den verschiedenen Unternehmen, wie sieht es bei den anderen mit den Einsatzorten und Arbeitsbedingungen aus und vieles mehr. Es wird wie immer ein interessanter Abend mit einem umfangreichen Erfahrungsaustausch werden, der einen auch beruflich weiterbringt. Mit dem DBITS e.V. wollen wir die Anerkennung von IT-Freiberuflern in der Gesellschaft und Politik vorantreiben, dort gibt es leider noch einen sehr großen Aufhol- und Aufklärungsbedarf und damit viel zu besprechen und zu erfahren. Des Weiteren bietet uns der Verein ein breites Netzwerk an Leuten mit den gleichen Zielen und Problemen. Aber wie gesagt, das Ziel ist ein schöner, informativer Abend, es gibt kein Mitgliederzwang. Nimm teil, wir freuen uns auf dein Kommen! Viele Grüße und ich freue mich schon auf ein Treffen am nächsten Freitag!

COMPLAIN!** **Everyone is annoyed by something or someone all the time anyway - let some steam out!

Apologies everyone for the completely skipped date on Easter! The emails from MeetUp were going straight to spam, so I was convinced there was no interest. For those of you still interested, I would suggest that Sunday, May 10 would be a good replacement date to kick things off. Content-wise, the event would stay the same. Meeting place would be the Schoenbrunn Biergarten Kiosk in Volkspark Friedrichshain. This would also be the first opportunity to discuss alternative times and locations. \-\-\- The first chapter of To Our Friends! A great intro to the style of writing and the fast and furious manner of argumentation from the radical theory collective. Selection for discussion: "Merry Crisis and Happy New Fear" Link to the text: https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/the-invisible-committe-to-our-friends

This time we will be discussing Sentimental Value by Joachim Trier Film info: https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt27714581/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk you will find us inside the bar usually on the left side. if you dont find us ask at the bar where the filmgroup is sitting. Don't forget to watch the film before joining the meetup :)

We invite you to take part in a shared cinematic experience built around reflection, atmosphere, and meaningful conversation. *Stalker* by Andrei Tarkovsky is a meditative and visually striking journey into a mysterious place known as “The Zone,” where the laws of reality seem to shift and a hidden room promises to fulfill one’s deepest desires. A guide known as the Stalker leads two men — a writer and a scientist — through this forbidden landscape, where every step is uncertain and nothing is as it seems. More than a conventional narrative, the film unfolds as a philosophical and emotional exploration of faith, doubt, and the search for meaning. Through long takes, haunting imagery, and a slow, immersive rhythm, Tarkovsky creates a space where viewers are invited to question not only the characters’ motivations, but also their own inner desires and beliefs. The journey into the Zone becomes a deeply personal experience, making each interpretation unique. **1\.

IMPORTANT!!! THE DATE OF THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CHANGED TO SUNDAY MAY 17, 2026!!! A very unusual choice for his group... Unknown Number: High School Catfish is an American [true crime](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/True_crime "True crime") documentary film directed by [Skye Borgman](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skye_Borgman "Skye Borgman") and released to [streaming](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streaming_media "Streaming media") on [Netflix](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netflix "Netflix") on August 29, 2025. The documentary explores the events and investigation into an unknown person [cyberbully](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberbullying "Cyberbullying") and [harassing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harassment "Harassment") teenagers in [Beal City, Michigan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beal_City,_Michigan "Beal City, Michigan") using an unknown number via insults and sexual claims. It also explores the increasingly great impact of the harassment on the community, the eventual reveal of the culprit, and the trial that followed. IMPORTANT INFO: I strongly suggest not reading anything about it online before seeing it. It's best viewed with no previous knowledge. This documentary contains crude terminology and deals with cyberbullying, which may be a trigger for some folks. Please be ready to discuss the movie by 7PM. Thanks. Unfortunately, it is only available on Netflix. If you would like to attend but do not have Netflix, say so and maybe we can figure something out.
