The Tsundoku Club: Tokyo Non-Fiction Mornings

Fuel your mind while you fuel up on coffee — inside a cave tucked away in the middle of the concrete jungle.

We gather on a weekend morning to share what we've been reading — no assigned books, no pressure. Just real reads and real caffeine (non-caffeinated drinks are welcome too).

Each participant gets 6–12 minutes (depending on group size and preference) to talk about a nonfiction book, followed by a few quick questions or comments before we move on to the next.

📅When: 10:10 AM – 11:10 AM, Monday (Holiday), November 24
📍Where: Coffee Hall Kugutsuso (くぐつ草), Kichijoji
🎙️Format: Round-robin sharing—one person at a time
📚Books: Any nonfiction book(s)—no set theme
🗣️Language: English (all are welcome, including non-native speakers)

Rough Plan:
10:10–10:15 — Grab a table and coffee
10:15–10:20 — Quick introductions
10:20–11:10 — Book sharing

Just so you know:

• Coffee’s on you.
• Conversation’s on us.

Need a nudge to finally start that book, or to keep turning pages, slowly but surely?
This is a low-pressure, introvert-friendly gathering for people who love books—and also love silence.
Bring your current read and all your introvert energy. We’ve got space for it all.

This time, we’re meeting at a café called Cafe Renoir (喫茶室ルノアール ), just a 30-second walk from the South Exit (South Exit) of Kichijoji Station.
