We started doing Silent Book Club at my library in January. The first meeting overflowed the room planned for it. 48 people came. To a restaurant to sit and read quietly near others.

The Bindery has regular Silent Book Club (with cocktails), often hosted by Daniel Handler. That is he welcomes everybody, gives a brief 10-15 talk on a subject of interest and then everybody is released to their books and drinks.

to sit and read quietly near others.

In high school we had one of these whenever a P.E. teacher had to cover an English class for the day.

Every library is a silent book club?

Timelies all!

Having a bit of a trying day with Mr. S. Currently in the kids programming space, where he is making "projects" by cutting up paper, yarn and other supplies, then gluing things to other things.

silent book club sounds awesome. Especially at a restaurant where there is presumably food and beverages, unlike at the library. If I'm going to settle in for a long read there must be snacks and tea.

I am very happy to report, to those who are following at home, that after 30 hours of rest I got my ability to read and think about academic content back. It got unnerving for a while.

Silent Book Club sounds amazing!

Dangit, someone called from Bloomberg's campaign, when I explained why I wasn't voting for him in the primary, I forgot to mention the racism and history of abuse!

Silent Book Club looks amazing, and the one near here is my former local bookstore, so what a bummer I don't live or work near there anymore!

I can't find one near me. Sadface.
