Classic literature bookclub
Do you like reading classic novels or poetry? We are a friendly group of book lovers that like exploring classic literature from all over the world. Each month we will select a classic work and have an in-person discussion around it. Anything from Austen to Zola is fair game. You are welcome to read the book in your preferred language, however the discussion will be organised in small groups in English. Please see more information below.

"Dune" by Frank Herbert (1965)
From Goodreads:
Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, heir to a noble family tasked with ruling an inhospitable world where the only thing of value is the “spice” melange, a drug capable of extending life and enhancing consciousness. Coveted across the known universe, melange is a prize worth killing for...
When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of Paul’s family will set the boy on a journey toward a destiny greater than he could ever have imagined.

"I, robot" by Isaac Asimov
From Goodreads:
"Isaac Asimov's I, Robot launches readers on an adventure into a not-so-distant future where man and machine , struggle to redefinelife, love, and consciousness—and where the stakes are nothing less than survival. Filled with unforgettable characters, mind-bending speculation, and nonstop action, I, Robot is a powerful reading experience from one of the master storytellers of our time."
