Classic Literature Reading Session At Cozy Cafes
Spend a morning or afternoon indoors exploring the beauty of classic literature with your partner at a cozy cafe. This date idea is perfect for couples who appreciate words as well as quiet and intimate settings while enjoying a cup of Russian tea or coffee.
- You and your partner decide to start your day with a unique date in one of Saint Petersburg's charming and cozy cafes. You both choose one classic book to read and discuss together. The relaxed and intimate atmosphere is supplemented by the aroma of freshly brewed Russian tea or coffee.
- With your chosen classic literature in one hand and your warm beverage in the other, engage in deep conversations about the book's themes, characters, and the author's writing style. This shared experience not only brings a sense of closeness but also activates intellectual stimulation.
- End the session by exchanging your favorite quotes from the read, which can help in gaining a nuanced perspective of each other's literary tastes. This date is not about finishing a book but rather savoring the joy of reading and bonding over shared interests.
Preparation steps:
- Start by discussing with your partner about their favorite genres and authors in classical literature. You may want to prepare a list of your preferred books as well.
- Next, plan the cafe you want to visit. It helps to choose a place that has an intimate ambiance, comfortable seating, and a relaxed environment. Places like Bukvoed Bookstore and Cafe and Singer Cafe are good starters. Also, check the working hours of the cafes, and make sure they suit your schedule.
- Lastly, pack essential items such as your reading glasses, bookmarks and a notebook for jotting down thoughts and favorite quotes. The date is simple, inexpensive, yet highly enriching and bonding experience.
Some tips:
- Make sure to respect each other's pace while reading. It's not a race, but an opportunity to bond and engage in meaningful discussions.
- Try to pick books that both of you find interesting. If your literary preferences are way too different, you may consider reading two different books and sharing your respective insights.
- Reserve a quiet corner at the cafe so as to not get disturbed by the surrounding noise. And finally, don't forget to enjoy the process. Your mindset is key to making this uncommon date a memorable one.
