Lets Read Ulysses

Ulysses in 70 days

!922 Ulysses by James Joyce, was published - 100 years ago this year. June 16th, 1904 is the day the action in the novel takes place, we will finish before then - Bloomsday. It is a novel of about 700 pages. This is an invitation to an experiment; to read Ulysses together, over about 70 days - 10 pages a day, about 30 minutes of time each day, everyday. Lets start on March 10th - in 10 days, ending 70 days after that. Any edition will do.

Here’s how it will work. Each day I will post the beginning sentence and the ending sentence and the page number of my book, your page numbers will be different. Then anyone is free to comment on the reading of the day - anything, a reaction, a response, a thought, a feeling, a sentence you would rewrite, questions, memories, favorite characters or passages, style or structure: - whatever. I think all of this can be done in the comment section.
