Join Our Cozy Group on Zoom for the Nordkap Book Club, 2 nd season
--By Magda Pecsenye, Nordkap Co-Cultural Director

You are invited to the second season of Nordkap Book Club. We’ll be focusing on fiction for this season of the book club by reading some Viking sagas, an atmospheric historical fiction best-seller, a short little book about letting yourself love someone, a story about life in Oslo right after WWII, and a strange funny tale about the search for meaning. All these books are VERY Norwegian, and we should have fun reading through the fall and
winter and discussing them on Zoom. (Listening to the books as audiobooks is totally fine if you prefer that to reading with your eyes.)

Nordkap Lodge members who read all five books and come to at least one Zoom discussion will earn the Level 2 Literature Cultural Skills Pin. We welcome anyone to read and come to the Zoom discussions, even if they’re not members. If you didn’t do the last season and earn the Level 1 pin you can still join and do this level.

Book club discussions will be on Zoom, at 7 p.m. for about an hour or so. (If you read but can't come to the discussion, you can still earn the pin.)
It would help me to know who is joining, so if you plan to do so or have any questions,
please contact me at
magda.pecsenye@gmail.com
(If you were in the group the first season, I’m assuming you want to continue so I’ve got you on the list.)

January 29, 7 pm:
Naïve. Super. by Erlund Loe. A funny, short book about a young man who drops out of college to find the meaning of life and makes some questionable decisions. This should be fun and easy to get through in January.

All the books or audiobooks can be easily ordered on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/.
