We communicate through a WhatsApp group. If you would like to join, write to: contact@pragueliterarycalendar.com

Our book club was founded in August 2022 by John Denys. We read Pride and Prejudice and have been very frequent ever since. We are a mixed group of all ages, genders, races and political backgrounds. We welcome all people and encourage interesting discussion without judgment. John Denys has now left Prague but the book club still continues today.

We meet on the first Saturday of each month at 16.00 to discuss.


A group of diverse individuals engaged in conversation around a wooden table in a cosy library setting, surrounded by bookshelves filled with books.
