Turn off your smartphones and treat yourself to a couple of hours of healthy reading together, choosing from the many books that they had accumulated on their bedside table over time at home, is the idea that came to four twenty-year-olds from New York. About a year ago they decided to get together in an apartment in Brooklyn, to read and comment on what they read! From here the Reading Party.
Themed parties involving dozens of people from all social backgrounds who share a passion for reading and spending time together. Typically, the locations chosen change every time. There are few rules, those necessary to guarantee a comfortable environment. One above all: choose a place with welcoming and enough seating for everyone, with good lighting and above all quiet.
In the United States these reading groups have become trendy, on Instagram 22 thousand followers follow the Reading Rhythms page. Fashion, fortunately, is also becoming popular overseas. In Amsterdam, for example, always thanks to books, “The Offline club” organizes real digital detox meetings.
And in Italy? We are getting ready. The news tells us of first experiences offered in Puglia, Foggia and Bari, with parties featuring books, music and good food.
