“Read Me Like a Book” is an intimate Zajal gathering that uncovers the stories behind the person, not just their bookshelf. After a short quiz reveals your reading type, you dive into one-on-one conversations inspired by the Human Library. Everyone becomes both reader and story, sharing honest reflections sparked by a love of books. Let’s get past the small talk.

Meet the Contributor:

Zajal celebrates diverse voices from around the world. Inspired by Arabic oral poetry, it brings art and culture to life through blind book dates, curated experiences, and intimate gatherings. Whether you’re here to read or to be read, Zajal is a space to feel, connect, and be seen. Making the world a little kinder, one story at a time.
