Silent Book Club

Often with traditional book clubs there's the scramble to finish the assigned book, and the pressure to have something smart to say. Wouldn't it be great to have a book club where you could just enjoy books, friends, and drinks—without any homework? At Silent Book Club, there's no assigned reading.

General timeline:
6:00-6:30 Get settled, order something tasty, and casual introductions
6:30-7:30 Silent reading
7:30-8:00 Group book photo and chatting
