Book Clubs

The Ink Drinkers offers three different book clubs for you to choose from. Feel free to join one, two or all three! It’s entirely up to you. More information about each is found down below. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out and contact us.

General Fiction

This is the original club that started back in 2023. We read literally anything fiction from the classics, to gothic/horror, to contemporary literature. We meet on the last Wednesday and Saturday of every month at 5pm. You can pick whichever day works better for you! Same book, different day.

There is no registration required, and other than the cost of the book if you need one, it’s free to join!

PLEASE NOTE!!! While there is no registration required, the Saturday group fills up quickly. Please arrive on time to secure a spot as space is not guaranteed.

Horror Edition

What would life be without a little bit of fear? Whether you’re already a die hard horror fan, or you’re curious and don’t where to start, we’d love to have you join us (not in a weird, cult-y way). We read the classics, as well as newer horror. There is no registration required, and it’s free to join!

Next meetings:

Strange Houses by Uketsu
Saturday June (TBD) at 5pm

Where: Pile of Books, Zurich

Big Book Reading Group

This book club tackles the Big Ones: books that are 500 pages or longer (the longer the better). They can be a bit intimidating, so we break them up and take our time, usually over 2-3 months. Because this is a small group, spots are limited. If you are interested in joining, please send an email to Bryanna or DM the shop on Instagram to secure your spot.

Note: The Big Book Reading Group 2026 is full. Stay tuned for the 2027 schedule!
