Put down your phone, pick up that unfinished novel and join the quiet revolution

Look, we all know the feeling: your reading list grows taller by the week whilst your phone pings away, pulling your attention in seventeen different directions at once. Actually sitting down with a book properly, without distractions – has become something of a lost art.
Which is exactly why Read Me Again's 'Books I Haven't Finished' happens. This Sunday, Nextopia and A Keen House are turning an ordinary afternoon at Siam Paragon's fifth floor from a sacred space for readers who just want to get stuck in without the constant buzz of notifications.
Here's the best bit: you hand over your phone at the door. The whole afternoon becomes genuinely distraction-free – tackling that novel you've been meaning to finish for ages, or cracking open something new you picked up from a book fair.
Bring whatever you fancy. Your current read, a sketchbook, even a diary for jotting down thoughts in peaceful silence. It's open to anyone craving a proper break from screens and a chance to remember what paper actually means, surrounded by people who get it.
If your 'pile of shame' has been giving you grief, or you simply fancy living at a slower pace right in the heart of the city for a few hours, this is your answer. Grab your books and we'll see you at A Keen House, Nextopia 5th floor Siam Paragon, this Sunday April 19 from 11am onwards. Time to turn some pages.
