Budapest Silent Book Club – English Edition

Bring your current book and join us for a relaxed Saturday morning of reading and conversation at the Körúti Library.

What is a Silent Book Club?
Everyone brings their own book, there’s no assigned reading, homework or preparation. We spend part of the morning reading quietly together, with time before and afterwards to meet each other, talk about books and discover something new to read.

How does it work?
📖 10:30–11:00 — Arrival and introductions
We start with a short introduction round: your name, what you’re reading and anything you’d like to share about it. A few sentences are plenty.
🤫 11:00–12:00 — Silent reading
An uninterrupted hour to settle into your own book, in the company of other readers.
💬 12:00–13:00 — Conversation
This is where we talk about what we’ve just read and share our thoughts.

First time joining?
You’re welcome to come on your own, whether you read every day or are trying to get back into the habit. Bring a physical book or an e-reader, in any language. Our introductions and conversation will be in English.

📍 Körúti Könyvtár — 1066 Budapest, Teréz körút 2–4.
📅 Saturday, 17 October 2026 · 10:30–13:00

The event is free, but please RSVP on Meetup as places are limited. If your plans change, update your RSVP so someone else can join.

See you and your book on Saturday!
