A rave for readers. Book Doof started in Melbourne as a silent reading party: a whole room reading together, ambient music in the background, no one asking what you're reading. Now it's coming to Lutruwita/Tasmania...
Bring a book. They'll handle the rest. Come alone, with a mate, or with your kid. Half the room usually comes solo, and that's the point. Stay for a chat afterwards, or keep reading.
Spread out, get comfortable and enjoy an afternoon of reading, quiet community, and an amazing live ambient performance designed for your listening pleasure by guest musical artists.
Here's how it works: bring whatever you're reading (or borrow something from our mini library), find a spot to lounge, and read in the same room as everyone else for a couple of hours. No book club discussion, no small talk required, no pressure - just the simple, slightly rebellious pleasure of reading with strangers instead of alone. There's time to chat at the end, or you can just keep reading.
