Japanese 'book rave' events offer a quieter nightlife alternative
Original: 📖 Whoa, this is so much more my speed than going to a regular club or bar. https:// kottke.org/26/10/0049771-japan ese-b
A link to a story about a Japanese book rave is being shared and praised as a calmer alternative to conventional nightlife. The event apparently centres on reading and relaxing with books in place of dancing and drinking at a club or bar. One reader summed up the appeal, saying it is 'much more my speed' than a regular night out, and the idea is resonating with people who prefer a chill social scene.
Why now: The idea of swapping clubs for silent communal reading is charming and novel to many readers.
