KL Reads has turned silent reading into a social experience, drawing nearly 100 people to Perdana Botanical Gardens every Saturday. The movement, founded by public health professional Navina in 2023, has been running for over 90 consecutive weeks. While participants remain silent, many say it helps them focus, rekindle their love for books, and even form friendships—particularly among introverts.

So we ask you: Do you prefer flying solo, or do you thrive in a group? And beyond reading, what activities do you enjoy alone or with others?
