What weâre about
Welcome to the Silent Book Club Budapest!
This group is for anyone interested in reading a good (e-)book with a cup of coffee/tea and among like-minded people.
Here we don't have a designated book to complete for a deadline, only a pleasant environment for reading your current favourite book, and sharing your impressions of it if you wish.
The meetings are in person, mostly in a Café, with a simple (usually two-hour) agenda:
- half an hour for introduction of you and your chosen book
- one hour for quiet reading
- half an hour for sharing what you have read, impressions, etc.
Whether you are a trained reader, who seeks for community, an eager novice, who wants to make reading a habit, or just someone, who wants to slow down and enjoy the present for a bit, you are at the right place!
So grab your book and join us!

đ Facebook Page - Budapest Silent Book Club â Monthly Book: The Hen Who Dreamed She Could FlyAltair Teahaz, Budapest
Hello everyone,
Welcome to the Monthly Book Club â the discussion edition of the Budapest Silent Book Club for those who enjoy reading the same book and sharing thoughts together.
Each month, we pick a short book or novella (under 200 pages) â something light and easy to finish, even the day before the meetup đ . The focus is on accessible reads and relaxed, thoughtful conversations.
This time, weâll be reading The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly (2000) by Sun-mi Hwang. This beloved Korean classic tells the story of Sprout, a hen who escapes her caged life with a fervent dream: to hatch her own egg and raise a chick. It's a powerful and moving fable about freedom, motherhood, individuality, and the courage to defy expectations.
đ Time: 18:00â20:00 â Group discussion about the book (no silent reading hour this time)
đ Location: Altair TeahĂĄz (An image of the location is available)Iâll bring a few discussion prompts, but everyoneâs thoughts are welcome. Whether you loved the book, found it strange, or didnât manage to finish â youâre invited.
