Why Silent Book Club?
-
Because you like books.
-
And you like reading with friends.
-
But you never can finish the assigned book club book on time.
-
Because everyone in your last book club loved David Foster Wallace and Jonathan Franzen.
-
And they made you feel bad for loving Rainbow Rowell.
-
Because reading a book in a bar is better than swiping right.
-
Plus, people will think you're an intellectual rather than a 30-something drinking alone.
-
And that cute bartender will ask what you're reading.
-
Because you like getting book recommendations from people you know.
-
And you don't feel like cooking dinner and giving the kids a bath.
-
Because books and wine prevent Alzheimer's. Or something. Maybe.
-
Because you're sick of everyone basking in the glow of their phones.
-
Because "Silent Book Club" sounds better than "drinking on a Monday."
-
Because, let's face it, don't we all just go to book club for the wine?
