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.

- Mingle & Read at The HughThe Hugh, New York, NY
Hi everyone,
In March, let's bring the books we're reading to The Hugh in Midtown East (where the group met in November). The Hugh has long tables we can sit at, which will hopefully allow for easier conversation for the group!
We'll do some introductions and talk about the books we're reading and then silently read the the books we've brought with us.
This is a public space, so there is no guaranteed seating so I put an Attendee Limit on the event. Please update your RSVP if you can no longer attend.
Although The Hugh is open for people to sit and meet, the restaurants all seem to be closed on the weekends so you may want to bring your own food and drinks if you think you will get hungry.
Looking forward to seeing you!
