We usually have about 50 to 100 people at each event.** ***FAQ: Why does it cost money if I bring my own project?*** Because we rent a beautiful, central space for every event.

But if you’d like to focus & connect with others in an inspiring space – with drinks, snacks included – that’s what your ticket helps to cover.

Silent Reading Club

Sun, Oct 18, 9:00 AM
From Offenes Wohnzimmer: Moabit Nachbarschaft
4.8

Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better! It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading. The usual agenda: - Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes) - ⁠Silent reading (~1 hour) - ⁠Discussion (~30-40 minutes) - ⁠Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like! You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you! No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.

Monthly Book Club Meeting - October

Monthly Book Club Meeting - October

Sun, Oct 18, 12:30 PM
From International Book Club Berlin
4.8

Dear Book Enthusiasts, For our September gathering, we’ll be reading ***Crossing the Mangrove*** by the Guadeloupean writer **Maryse Condé**. Set in a small Guadeloupean community, this richly layered and atmospheric novel begins with the mysterious death of Francis Sancher, a man whose presence has touched the lives of many people in the village. As the story unfolds, we hear from a wide range of characters, each offering their own memories, impressions, desires, and secrets. Through these many voices, Condé creates a vibrant portrait of a community shaped by love, resentment, identity, colonial history, and the complicated ties that bind people together. 📅 **Date & Time:** Sunday, 18.10.2026 at 15:00 📍 **Location:** Distrikt Coffee, Bergstrasse 68, 10115 Berlin 💬 **Fee:** As always, a 3 € contribution after the meeting helps cover organization costs. As I mentioned in earlier announcements, due to personal reasons I will not be able to attend a few upcoming meetings. A lovely friend of mine — Tereza, who happens to be a connoisseur of literature — kindly agreed to moderate and host this gathering during my absence. I truly hope you’ll join me in giving her your support. I’m very much looking forward to hearing all about your discussion and to gathering together again soon. Warmly, Sofya
