Honolulu Silent Book Club vs. The World

Thursday, September 10, six to eight!

In the near corner, wearing cloth binding in a faux leather cover and sprayed edges, Honolulu’s own page-turning, time-burning, knowledge-earning, questionably discerning SILENT BOOK CLUB!

In the far corner, wearing the noise of daily existence and a sense of impending doom, THE WORLD.

It promises to be a heck of a showdown in front of Whole Foods Market at Kahala Mall, from 6 to 8. Lots of free parking. Many options for food and drink, but no pressure to spend money.

Look for us at the big round table. If you spot two hippos perched atop a book, you’re found your people.

Bring something to read! Bring anything to read!

We’ll say hi, take an optional group photo, and read quietly for an hour. Then stick around and chat, keep reading, or call it a night. Socializing is always optional!

Bring a book for the book exchange table, or just pick a few up for later.

If it rains, we’ll try to get the covered tables under the eave, or perhaps find space inside the mall.

Text Mitchell at 830-255-7423 if you would like a ride home, if you get lost, or whatever!

We can’t wait to read with you!

Save the Date — and save your seat!

Silent Book Club Honolulu is heading back to the hidden speakeasy at Vintage Books on Sunday, September 20, from 4 to 6 with Liberty as your host!

Join us for an afternoon of quiet reading, great company, and a cozy atmosphere!

Bring your current read or start something fresh!

We had so many people at our last gathering here, we have to put a cap on attendance for this one.

RSVP by September 15 to ensure we can reserve a seat for you.

RSVP on Meetup.

The event description on Meetup includes info on payment, parking, and (of course) the fabulous menu!

Two bookish meetups Saturday the 5th! Scroll down to our August 24 post for all the details, including parking, or check out the events at meetup.com/honolulu-silent-book-club.

Thursday, September 3
5:00 to 6:45
The Hawaii State Library
Language, Literature, and History section

Come read with us!

Enter the building, go to the left wing and head straight back. You’ll find Emily and your book-loving friends.

We’ll do some quick voluntary photos to show off what everyone is reading, we’ll chat a while, and then we’ll read quietly for a blissful hour.

The library closes at 7, so come a little early if you’d like to browse and borrow.

Parking: Metered street parking is all around the library. Street parking’s free at 6:00.

The Iolani Palace lot is super close and secure. It also becomes free at 6:00, when they shut the gate. If you need to bail before 7:00, just flag down a security guard and they’ll let you out.

Your assigned reading is—just kidding! There’s no assigned reading! Read anything you want!

We can’t wait to read with you!
