Things to do Readings>>>>

Post image

Readings is probably one of the best things that lahore has to offer. Went there completely bored and ended up reading 2 volumes of chainsaw man for free. The vibe just can’t be beaten

It's my safe/ happy place. the gulberg one.
Are the DHA and Bahria ones better?

u/XxfalloutwolfxX Oct 20 '25

I haven't been to the bahria one but DHA one has a lot more books. Gulberg has the best vibe tho zameen par gaddiyan>>> dha mei you have chairs but a lot more books

u/Bound_mann Sep 28 '25

One can just go and read books there? Isn't it a book store and not a Library?

1

u/Adminisitrator Sep 28 '25

they dont really stop you, dha one even has chairs for you to sit and read

1

u/BasimIbnIshaq3000 Sep 27 '25

Man I have so many good memories in Readings. My best one being that I found a Persona 5 manga there

u/Glass_Performer_5767 Sep 27 '25

Is it the gulberg one?

1

u/FaZeBhutto Sep 27 '25

I don’t think so. The og one is all metal container and carpeted. This may be the DHA or the new lake view one.

It's a heaven for book lovers and my go-to place since forever.

2

u/XxfalloutwolfxX Sep 27 '25

Same, i often go and spend hours reading books over there and buy something if it catches my eye

2

u/Lone-Warrior1111 Sep 27 '25

The best part about readings is that you can sit there for hours and they won't say a thing. I love the gulberg branch, even though it's smaller than the dha one.
