'Are we really lonely once we have created a whole world inside our head?'
Hi everyone, in this session we’ll be exploring books about loneliness, human connection, and the relationships we form when we feel alone.
This is a themed session, so you can bring a book that you feel connects to the theme in any way, maybe a story about loneliness, fleeting connection, the desire to be understood, or simply the ways people try to reach one another.
There’s no required reading, so feel free to interpret the theme however you like! 📖 Feel free to bring along a physical copy of your book for our tradition of a group photo! 📚
The subject is very broad, but here are some books I'd recommend, related to the theme:
• *The Lonely City* — Olivia Laing
• *Convenience Store Woman* — Sayaka Murata
• *The Bell Jar* — Sylvia Plath
• *The Catcher in the Rye* — J.D. Salinger
• *The Dream of a Ridiculous Man* — Fyodor Dostoevsky
• *White Nights* — Fyodor Dostoevsky
P.S. This is a small book club, and your absence can make a big difference! Please sign up only if you really plan to make it, and cancel well in advance if your plans change so that others will have a chance to join as well. Thank you\~ 🌹
