What we’re about
Are you trying to find some uninterrupted time to focus on your book? Would you like to meet fellow readers from across the five boroughs? Welcome to Silent Book Club NYC!
We don’t assign reading for our meetups. Just bring a book, whether it’s something you’re currently enjoying or that book you’ve been meaning to get around to forever. Paper, e-book, or audio — they’re all welcome. We’ll share the books we brought (we’re always on the lookout for our next great read) and then settle in to read silently together.
Please read our community guidelines before posting to the group for the first time.

Silent Book Club chapters across the U.S. are participating in Read 25 Day organized by The Happiness Project author Gretchen Rubin and Bookshop.org. Thousands of readers nationwide are pledging to spend 25 minutes reading on June 25. Our chapter will host a 30-minute online call to enjoy some reading time during lunch. Please note, the call is limited to 100 readers.
You can learn more about Read 25 Day and take the pledge (not required to join the NYC meetup).
