The Forty-Eighth Meeting: The Midnight Library 🌠📖

Imagine yourself on the edge of despair, between life and death... and suddenly you find yourself in a mysterious library, its shelves stretching endlessly... Each book in this library represents an alternate life, a different decision, a different path you could have taken at some point... And you are given the chance in the Midnight Library. In this meeting, we will dive with Nora, the novel's protagonist, whose heart is burdened by disappointments, into an experience filled with profound questions about the meaning of life, happiness, fate, pain, and the ability to accept oneself as they are... We will accompany her through moments of regret and choice, to reflect together: **If time were to rewind... would we change anything?** What distinguishes the novel (The Midnight Library) is that it is full of possibilities, choices, and inspiring quotes such as the following: *“Every life contains millions of decisions. Some big, some small. But each time you make a decision, its consequences change. A series of events emerges that cannot be erased, leading you to another set of events. If you had made just one different decision, you would have a completely new life story.”* *“Regret does not recognize chronological order; it floats in all directions.”* *“As long as books exist on the shelves, you can never be trapped. Each book represents a possible escape.”* *“You don’t have to understand life, you just have to live it.”* *“Every life I’ve tried since entering the library was someone else’s dream.”* *“The world has withdrawn from me, so it makes sense now for me to withdraw from it.”* *“Her sense of self was entirely focused on the things she wasn’t, the things she failed to obtain—there were many. Constant regret filled her mind.”* *“Live the life you imagined.”* *“To be human means to keep summarizing the world into a comprehensible story to preserve simplicity.”* *“The fear of love is the fear of life, and whoever fears life is already dead.”* We are honored by your presence in our Book and Dialogue Club with Ms. Hanan Al-Ghammas 😇 And as usual, there is no need to read the book beforehand—we will take you on an enjoyable journey through its pages and quotes to discover a new perspective on the world and on yourselves 🤍 May God bless you \*\*\*\*\* **Notice:** \* We would like to inform you that Book and Dialogue Club meetings may include taking general photographs from multiple angles to document the events.
