You just need to find people to be introverted with. It's an odd concept, but reading a book in the same room as someone else doing the same is great

Edit: the trouble is finding them. That part sucks

I wouldn't say an odd concept, it's completely normal for me. Rather decent way to spend time, though not specifically reading a book, but whatever alternative each individual prefers.

But yeah there are way too many people who wouldn't consider that as spending time together.
