Unlike a traditional book club with assigned books, then the scramble to read them and the pressure to have something smart to say, the Silent Book Club is all about adults enjoying books, friends, and a beverage of your choice–without any homework.

There will be a 1/2 hour to chat (or not), then a quiet hour to read, followed by a 1/2 hour to chat (or not). BYO book & buy a beverage of your choice.

Monthly meeting locations can be found on our calendar.

Join fellow book worms for silent reading sessions over coffee, over lunch, online, and in person. Meetings happen all across Long Island, so feel free to drop in when we're in your neighborhood.

There's no assigned reading so bring your own book. Everyone is welcome, and anyone can join. Learn more here!

At a Silent Book Club, there are no assigned readings, just book-loving people reading together in public. We meet at an agreed upon location and start with a half-hour socializing, then we get down to it with an hour of silent reading with an optional half hour of socializing at the end, or just keep on reading...

We meet in coffee shops and other venues with good lighting and access to refreshments, including coffee, wine and tea! Happy Hour for Introverts!

Join us for some well-deserved self-care among others. Choose your own book as a cure for the soul!

Silent Book Club is happy hour for introverts.

Bring a book, bring a friend, and order a drink. Then settle in for an hour or two of quiet reading with fellow book lovers. There's no assigned reading or discussion guides—that's the "silent" part of our book club—but we do like to share book recommendations and meet like-minded readers. 

This chapter meets in both Brooklyn and Manhattan. RSVP here!
