When was the last time you really took a break from your hectic schedule, curled up in a cosy nook, and read? And when we say read, we don’t mean doom-scrolling social media. And when we say nook, we don’t mean wedged between two strangers’ armpits on your U-Bahn commute. Imagine a space beyond your regular haunts, something urban sociologists refer to as a “third space”. If you’re a reader craving a spot to lose yourself in a book without distractions, let us introduce you to Pausify’s co-reading sessions.
📚 The best English bookstores in Berlin
The co-reading event series brings together bookworms, creatives and intellectuals in a quiet space that allows them to dig into their individual reads in peace – but with a social aspect. So, how does it work? First, buy a one-off guest ticket (€9.90), sign up for a community pass (€24.90, valid for one month) or a resident membership (€99.90, valid for six months).
Then, show up with whatever book you plan to dive into; Pausify hosts its 60-minute quiet focus co-reading sessions every Sunday at EDGE Grand Central Berlin. Next, connect with fellow readers who will be joining you for the session before settling in with a cup of (unlimited) tea or coffee and enjoy your book. Finally, once reading time is over, share your thoughts with the group and learn about what everyone else has been reading about.
Pausify also welcomes all kinds of creative literary projects, from that sci-fi thriller psychological screenplay you’ve been drafting to your half-finished erotic horror novel waiting to see the printing plant. So, grab that book that’s been staring at you since the start of the summer and get yourself over there – just be prepared to be leaving with a brand new reading list.
