We were still assembling our YouTube playlist when two early birds arrived: Demet, the ever-enthusiastic German lady, and Michelle, a Spanish lady she had dragged along. It was fifteen minutes before 6. We would never have expected anyone to arrive so soon to the first meeting of the season.

A total of ten poeple gathered in the evening of February 27th to discuss the future of reading. We concluded that a gradual switch from printed books to e-books is inevitable, what’s more, we couldn’t come up with any serious arguments against it. The nostalgic feeling of smelling and touching the paper will probably not be sufficient for the books to survive.

We had some fun playing a new game called Story Cubes. It consists of 9 dice, each of them having different pictures on its sides. The task is to roll them all at once and improvise a story starting with “Once upon a time…”

Next week we’ll be discussing the problem of homelessness. See you soon!
