Hi, yes, at least one of the main ideas was to find out more about books one might want to read, from people who have read them: to share experiences around common interests. It so happened that I printed the books just before someone posted more, but it doesn’t have to be limited to talking about the ones (printed) at https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/33540495?page=1&shelf=printed&view=covers
If weather forecasts seem rainy, we’ll probably meet at the lobby of http://www.musiikkitalo.fi/en in which case I’ll announce the change tomorrow. True about the map though!
My feeling is that this shouldn’t end up being demanding in any way; if some people want to talk about some technical books they’ve all read, then they can take a separate table, but mostly we’ll just wonder about/around books spread as cards on the table and see what leads to interesting associations. I recommend browsing the Goodreads shelf of printed books and to why-not consider joining at least if you’d be interested in hearing or talking about any of them, as probably many of them are at least somehow familiar to participants. (Based on the Facebook event, I expect at most 10 people will attend.)
