It’s a two-hour party designed to be the perfect atmosphere for reading. It’s much easier to turn off your phone and read for two hours if everyone else is doing it too.
Most of our gatherings are held in venues that can provide us with a space dedicated just for silent readers. This is how we are able to ensure two hours of quiet reading.
Any format of reading is welcome. Printed books, e-books, laptops or audiobooks are all acceptable material during SRPs. Even catching up with last week’s newspapers is allowed :) It doesn't matter what you read. Rather, the whole point is setting aside time for reading and then actually doing it. And the only rule is that your reading format respects fellow silent readers.
It may take a minute to get used to, if you only attend social events where talking is encouraged. But only a minute. It's actually fun—and a relief—to go to a gathering where small talk is not allowed. If complete silence is too much for you, feel free to bring your headphones/earphones as needed. But please recall the above rule!
