If you've never read a book, read often, or something in between, you're welcome in this club. If you have a book that touches on the concept of love you want to share, please do! If you don't, come anyway!
This will be our second time running the What Are You Reading series. Ben will be your guide as we share parts of different books with a common theme and discuss how we feel about them. Tonight's theme is love. This isn't school, it's not about finding the deeper meaning that the author is trying to give you, because beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and we are the beholders!
Ben will be prepared with a book to share, in this case, it will be Electric City, a dystopian sci-fi masterpiece of a graphic novel written by a historian that depicts a world where corporations run everything, technology runs wild, and there's a battle between private enterprise and public good.
As we go, we'll learn new words, express ourselves, listen to each other actively, and share in the beauty that is reading. Let's have a lovely evening together!
不管你是从来没读过书、经常读,还是介于两者之间,都欢迎来这个读书局。如果你有一本聊到 “love” 的书想分享,带来就行!没有也不用紧张,来玩就好。
这是我们第二次办 What Are You Reading 系列活动。Ben 会带着大家一起围绕同一个主题,分享不同书里的片段,也聊聊这些内容带给我们的感觉。今晚的主题是 love。这里不是学校,不用纠结作者到底想表达啥,因为好不好看、有没有感觉,全看自己——我们就是那个 “beholder”。
Ben 也会准备一本书来分享,这次是 Electric City。这是一本历史学者写的赛博反乌托邦风格的图像小说:企业掌控一切、科技失控、私人利益和公共利益之间不断拉扯,世界就是这么被撕扯开的。
活动过程中,我们会学到新词,表达自己,认真听彼此讲话,一起感受阅读的美好。来一起度过一个舒服愉快的夜晚吧!
