Most book clubs mean reading the same book, long discussions, and the pressure to keep up.
Stanford Reads is different.
This is a silent reading circle where we gather, each with our own book, and simply read together. No performance. No pressure. Just presence, imagination, and the quiet joy of community.
📚 How it works
- Bring any book you love.
- We meet, say hello briefly, and then settle in for an hour of silent reading.
- For those who wish, we may grab a quick dinner afterward or catch a classic film at the historic Stanford Theater.
🌸 Who’s welcome
Open to all book lovers - whether you’re an avid reader or just beginning again, you’re welcome here.
📍 Where & When
Coupa Café Lawns, Stanford CampusSaturdays, 5–6 pm (sometimes extending longer, if the group wishes).
