About us
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!

(June) Monthly Book Club: Flesh by David Szalay
TBD - in central Budapest, tbd, Budapest, HUHello everyone,
Welcome to the Monthly Book Club, the discussion edition of the Budapest Silent Book Club for those who enjoy reading the same book and sharing thoughts together.
This June, we’ll be reading Flesh by David Szalay. The novel follows a man’s life across different stages, relationships, countries, and social worlds, exploring desire, ambition, class, masculinity, and the strange ways a person’s life can be shaped by circumstance.
It’s a sharp, intimate, and unsettling read that opens the door to deep conversations about identity, power, success, loneliness, and the body’s role in how we move through the world.
🕕 Time: 18:00–20:00 – Group discussion about the book
📍 Location: To be announced one week before the event.I’ll bring a few discussion prompts, but everyone’s thoughts are welcome. Whether you loved the book, found it heavily debatable, or didn’t quite manage to finish, you’re invited.
