Yes, an hour is hardly going to be the End of Everything. And just from sheer practicality, it seems likely that these people would go to bars in the off hours, as it's not like they're going to enjoy reading on a bangin' Saturday night at 11PM or later... I would imagine. It wouldn't be my thing, but hey, I used to go to a regular Friday evening bar 'blitz chess' session in Pittsburgh with a bunch of Russians who would get progressively more blitzed as the night progressed. As you can imagine this was viewed as a bit peculiar by fellow revelers. Though unlike the reading club, we were not... exactly... quiet.
