[close] "Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider." --Sir Francis Bacon Welcome to our home away from the classroom and the class website, Blackboarddreams.com!

[close] Inspired by 'Reading Lolita in Tehran' of Azar Nafisi (check it!!), 'Reading Lolita in NL' is a book club with political, philosophic (mostly existentialist struggles), humanist and feminist nuances, but extends to all great books of humanity that deserve to be read before they burn in a fire, or before our retinas stop working. With all that said, we celebrate the liberating power of books, we share ideas, and we open our minds to books that we would have never tried before .
