After Dinner Book Club

We meet every second Tuesday of the month at 7:30pm at a book club member’s home. We enjoy books from all genres and have lively and engaging conversations. We hope you come and join us for an after-dinner drink at the after-dinner book club. If you are interested, please contact us via email.

English Book Club Grüningen

We are an English language book club, meeting in members’ homes in and around Zürich. Together we enjoy selecting, reading and discussing a diverse range of books.

English Bookclub Meilen

We meet every first Thursday of the month at Café Lycka in Meilen (Dorfplatz 1). The location is easy to reach, just a short walk from Meilen train station. You are welcome to order dinner, just a dessert (they have homemade cakes etc), or simply enjoy a drink - whatever suits you best. We read only book written by female authors - it felt like a fitting and inspiring choice. 

Would you like to join us, send an email!

English Book Club Zollikon

Our book club members live mainly in and around the area between Zollikon and Meilen, on the east side of the lake. We meet in the afternoon, on the second Tuesday of the month in members’ homes. Our choice of books is as diverse as our membership!

English Book Club Central Zürich

French Book Club Kreis 1 Zürich

We meet on Monday afternoons, approximately every 5 – 6 weeks in a central Zürich hotel.

Italian Book Club

We have a passion for the Italian language and its literature and love getting together, usually on Thursdays every 5-6 weeks in our members’ homes. We enjoy the lively environment and enriching discussions that arise from both classical and contemporary reading.

Spanish Book Club Zürich

We Spanish-speaking members create a lively, entertaining and informative atmosphere when we meet in each other’s homes, usually on the last Wednesday of every month. We all play a part in choosing our books and greatly value the opportunity to be among friends with a common interest.

Virtual Book Club

As the title suggest, this is a virtual book group. The idea behind this group is twofold; COVID restrictions made us house bound and in “normal” times we are connected to a book club when travelling and being in different time zones. If you would like to be part of this group and on the email list, please contact me.  I will use ZIWA Facebook to promote the next book on the reading list, and you can join in as much or as little as you want. We currently meet via Zoom once per month at 7pm.

World Literature Book Group

Our book club focuses primarily on the works of Asian and Middle Eastern authors, read in English translation. We read widely across genres, from fiction, both classical and contemporary, to non-fiction, essays, poetry. We are an eclectic group, holding lively, wide-ranging discussions on the last Friday afternoon of the month in a central Zürich café.
