The Prose City Co-Reading Club is an invitation to read in companionable silence, leaving behind the usual chatter of book clubs for a more introspective atmosphere. Bring any book you like—novels, poetry, nonfiction, graphic novels—and join us to simply read together.
We didn’t invent the idea of a gathering focused on reading quietly in the company of others. If you have ever had the joy of reading your current favorite book among other people doing the same, we don’t need to tell you why we think this will become one of our most beloved gatherings. Join us in a cozy space to share in a quiet but deeply communal experience.
Here’s how it works:
- Arrival & Settling In: 15 minutes — Arrive, grab a drink or snack, share your current read if you’d like, and settle into a comfortable nook.
- Quiet Reading: 60 minutes — A gentle chime signals the start of our reading hour, where we’ll dive into our books in shared, peaceful silence.
- Optional Chat & Closing: 15 minutes (or as late as you like) — After reading, stay to chat about what you’re reading, discuss new discoveries, or continue reading if you’re in the zone.
Please let us know if you would be interested in coming to these occasional gatherings by filling out our interest form. We’ll follow up with more information and will look forward to meeting / seeing you soon!
