The Silent Book Club started in 2012 with a couple of friends reading in companionable silence at a neighborhood bar.
The concept is simple yet revolutionary: we meet up at a bar or cafe to read in communal silence. Once the bell rings, silent reading time commences. After an hour, the bell rings again. Liberated from the orthodoxy of traditional book clubs, you can bring whatever you'd like to read. Before and after the designated reading time, you're welcome to chat about anything and everything - including your favorite books.
Other than that, there are no rules. Register to join us, or simply show up.
A typical Silent Book Club Meeting goes like this:
30 minutes - People arrive, order drinks/food, share what they're reading
1 hour - Quiet reading time
30 minutes - Stay to chat or just keep reading
Silent Book Club has over 70 chapters around the globe. To learn more, visit https://silentbook.club/
