Book and film club - meeting #1

 Hi everyone!

This year me and my friends decided to create a club, where we would reflect on books and movies together. I am a big literature and cinematography fan so I find participating in such discussion very interesting. It is also a great opportunity to spend time with friends and talk in nice atmosphere.

This Saturday (12th of September), the very first meeting of our club took place in Akwarela Cafe. Unfortunately only my friend Iga and I could make it this week. I brought a copy of "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley and we read the first chapter together. Later we discussed the general topic of the book and how the mentioned section made us feel. We also talked about the historical context of the book's creation and read about the author. 

I personally was very intrigued by the whole concept of the book and the way the author created description of the reality. It also struck me that the world is described as if it was a true utopia, ideal place to live, yet somehow I felt uneasy reading about it. It made me think about what true happines is and what it depends on.
