I was able to find this book on Amazon as well. Too niche for my library to have at this point, unfortunately

I think we just found a new book club member. 😉

When I was in the basement of Izolyatsia and literally composed the texts in my mind, I could not even think that one day they would become a book that the Nobel laureate would present to the Pope.
Thank you, dear @avalaina, for another act of cultural diplomacy. https://t.co/4ALkCGzDrR

I started reading the book on the commute and it's for better or worse not disappointing, it's heading into being the most harrowing book I've read and that's not a low bar with some of the ones we had here

Once again, it is an amazing book handdown. When I started reading it I remembered that I had read Stanislasv's 1st book "In Isolation: Dispatches from Occupied Donbas" in 2022. And I do recommend it to read ''In Isolation'' as well if you enjoyed "Torture camp".

I've noticed there is no event for the second half of this reading, is it happening tonight, next week, not at all...?

?

tame halo
#

Not showing for me for some reason

#

That link won't even work

#

Both on pc and mobile

#

Oooh! I see it. Lemme try to correct.

#

Can you check now?

tame halo
#

Now it's up and running, thanks sailorsalute

#

Although I would suggest to postpone it to next week? Since it's a 3 week gap between this book's and next one's discussion

#

And I confess I'm only halfway through this one, trying to catch up a bit this afternoon 😅

#

Lemme check with the others. Let's face it, I'm not the one carrying this. nothanks 😉

Hey all! I'm sorry about the mistake. We've taken @tame halo 's suggestion and will have book club next Sunday. Here is the event to put on your calendars!

Logically erredece knows there is a book club meeting every two weeks. He could have asked much earlier why there wasn't a second one visible this month. He could also have used this time to think.

Also, the next book is much longer than this one, therefore it stands to reason to use the three-week gap thanks to most months being longer than four weeks for that one instead.

Of course this is in no way directed at you, just erredece.. 😉
