About this Event

Silent Book Club of Death
The DC Death Collective will host special guest, Death Project Manager, for a special pop up Silent Book Club of Death – a book club for introverts!
Like book clubs, but want to read your own book?
Want to reflect on your mortality in the company of polite bookworms?
Looking for an anti-social social club, where you can meet people then politely ignore them?
Come read and mingle with new, bookish friends at this special edition of Silent Book Club of Death! Bring whatever book you happen to be reading – related to the theme of death / dying / grief / aging / mortality – to read in companionable silence, then share out about it with your new, bookish friends.
Even if you choose not to read a death-themed book and just want to read quietly in a death positive space, come join us!
Not sure what to read? Come to the library early and browse their collection. We hope you will join us and dedicate some time to reading and reflection!
Schedule below.
Any questions? Reach out to [email protected]
We look forward to seeing you there then!
