Book clubs

Book clubs in Tel Aviv for readers who want company

Meet IRL TLV book clubs gather a small group around one book at a café or a living-room-style spot in Tel Aviv. You read the book (or most of it — we won't quiz you), show up, and talk about it with people who came for the same reason.

A host keeps the discussion moving with a few questions, so it never turns into a lecture or a test. The conversation usually drifts from the book to life in Tel Aviv, which is exactly the point. Most people come alone, and the crowd is a mix of newcomers, olim, expats and locals.

Each meetup lists its book on the event page, and the exact spot is sent with your ticket. Bring your copy, digital or paper, and leave with a few opinions you didn't expect and a few people you'll want to see at the next one.

“Didn't finish the book? Come anyway. The best conversations start with "I only got halfway, but…".”
