This is a retreat to allow you space to think and read. Life gets in the way of allowing you quiet time to finish and reflect upon that book that you have been reading for the past 3 months. This is a space of silence and reflection created on purpose to allow you the time to sit down, come back to yourself, journal, reflect, read. Bring your own books or pluck one from the center’s library, sit down with a cup of tea and a rusk, and finish that book. Quiet reading and thinking time with no distractions, the ultimate luxury in our busy lives.
Ana Maria’s Silent Book Club (SBC) has been a place of dialogue and discovery for Joburg bookworms ever since it started 9 years ago. It is the no pressure Book Club, where people read their own book in the company of other book lovers. In 2025 it was recognized by the global SBC organization as top 10 largest and top 10 oldest, the only one in the Southern Hemisphere to receive this accolade.
