Hello folks! This week’s text came as a suggestion of one of our members, and it's a short story from Norse mythology called Thor’s unlucky journey to Jotunheim. It follows the titular character's foray into the land of giants. The link below will take you to the beginning of the story (page 56), you should read until page 65. https://norron-mytologi.info/diverse/munch-legends.pdf We’ll meet once again Thursday (19:00-20:00) in the EESC library, but this time in room 3 , it’s

Hello folks! For next week we’ll be reading a short story by Jack London called “To build a fire”, about a man traversing northern Canada in the extreme cold. The text may seem a bit long (16 pages) but it’s more straightforward than the other stories we’ve read. https://americanenglish.state.gov/files/ae/resource_files/to-build-a-fire.pdf Have a great week and see you Monday!

Hello folks! Hope you’re all having a great holliday! As we discussed during our last meeting, we’ll have our next official meeting Monday November 10 because of the holliday this week and the next. For 10/11 I have selected a longer text (12 pages) for us to discuss, since it's a long text we won’t read it during the meeting, only discuss it, so it’s paramount that everyone reads it. The text is called “The Mask”. https://dn721803.ca.archive.org/0/items/kinginyellow00chamric

Hello folks! For next week's text we'll read a short story by H. P. Lovecraft called "Dagon". The story revolves around a strange event that our narrator has gone through while lost at sea. The text isn't very long, but it is quite challenging, so I recommend reading it slowly. https://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/d.aspx See you monday!
