This group is all about reading and finding a quiet spot to do it. This is a book club for anyone that loves to read but doesn’t want to necessarily join a “normal” book club for whatever reason. In the Silent Book Club there are no required discussions, book of the month to read, deadline to finish, or any other demands. The entire focus is creating a designated time to come together with a common purpose – to read; not out loud, but silently for your own pleasure.
The first 15 minutes or so will be to settle in, get some coffee or tea and maybe a snack even. If you like, have small talk with others who are here, maybe discuss what you are reading or make a recommendation, and then at the designated time have an hour, maybe more, of pure quiet to read. You can bring your own book, you can use your e-reader if you have one, or take a book off of on my shelves if you would like. It matters not. When the reading time has ended I’ll let you know. Say your good nights for the evening and come back again to the next scheduled meetup and repeat it all again. During the summer there will always be the possibility of outdoor seating on the patio.
