A silent book club: how a “happy hour for introverts” spread around the world 📚Laura Gluhanich, Silent Book Club

A Silent Book Club meeting is exactly what you’d expect groups gather to read their books in silence in local bookstores, cafés or bars.

The community started when two friends frustrated by the traditional book club model flipped the concept on its head. Now, 220+ chapters of silent readers gather around the world to partake in communal reading.

Silent Book Club offers a space to dispense the small talk, a relief to many introverts. In our conversation with Laura Gluhanich, the co-founder of Silent Book Club, we dive into the importance of creating a welcoming space in all senses of the word, both physically and online.
