Thank you for your interest in the English group of the Booker Tea Reading Group. We have been up and running in Berlin since 2006 and have already enjoyed great discussions of books such as Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Americanah, Arundhati Roy’s The Ministry of Utmost Happiness, and David Szalay’s Flesh.
Do join us for the next discussion!
We publish our reading list annually, and members choose every book together (see how we choose our books). Discussions are in English, so strong reading and conversation skills in the language are recommended even if you are not a native speaker. (There is also a German group, if you are interested. Join one or both!)
We meet the 3rd Sunday of each month from 12 noon to 2 p.m., usually at a community center in Kreuzberg (yes, occasionally, we will also Zoom!). Everyone brings a vegetarian dish, salad, or dessert to share in a potluck meal; the venue provides free coffee, tea, and water. Need ideas? Try our potluck recipes.
Between meetings, members sometimes go out together to author readings, book festivals, and films based on books.
Meeting locations, Zoom links, and outings are posted only to our private group on Band, never on this website. Please see our How to Join page for more information.
