The bookstore runs the evening; owner Ana personally hand-selects three books in advance based on each participant's reading taste, shared beforehand. During the event you spend 15 minutes with each book, exploring different stories, writing styles and genres, and at the end you choose your favourite to take home, included in the ticket price. If you have already read one of the selected books, a replacement is chosen, and if none feels right you may pick another book from the store instead.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/zurich/events/book-speed-date-25829/", "official_url": "https://www.vastelabooks.com/products/book-speed-date-november-8", "image": "https://noky.io/images/84d87a72c07e7e2e736c1e59c5760b8482aefbbe13337000558f901ba3f116ec-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-08T17:00:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "Vastela Books", "address": "Birmensdorferstrasse 255, 8055 Zürich", "tickets": "sold_out"}], "similar": [{"title": "Silent Book Club", "start": "2026-11-05T14:30:00+01:00", "end": null, "place": "ETH OAT", "address": "Andreasstrasse 5, 8050 Zürich", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "tickets_url": "", "category": "workshops-courses", "tags": ["literature"], "description": "The Silent Book Club is a get-together where everyone reads quietly in their own book, as there is no prescribed reading.
