This group is dedicated to people who love reading and speak Spanish. Los Literários will be a small group who will meet online every second Friday of the month to talk about whatever people are already reading. No assigned reading!

The books and articles you read don’t need to be in Spanish. Only the discussion is in Spanish. Classics, mysteries, biographies, children’s books, you name it -- discussion on any genre are welcome.

This will be a space to talk about what people have been reading, recite a poem, read a passage of our latest read, recommend our favorite book ever, and hopefully even inspire you to comment on other books based on what you hear.

During a meeting, you may choose to stay quiet and enjoy the discussion, or share your thoughts on a book magazine article, an author, a poem you love – anything, really.

This group is inspired by “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society,” a historic novel by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer based on the German invasion of Guernsey during World War II. The book describes a group of islanders who, starved and abused by the Nazis, found solace in a literary group where everyone picked whatever book was available and talked about it at the next meeting.

These were people with varied levels of education who felt empowered by being together and around books. They found in books and in each other the strength to endure hardship. The bravest also found in their little society the courage to speak up, choose love over prejudice and fight for what they believed.
