Please, use this post to share Joycean references.

Who are you? Why are you reading? And the ground rules...

So each week we'll start a new post on Monday opening the next section of the book to comments. The idea is that all the content will be contained in the comments making it easy to read along at your own pace or refer back to comments or questions in a particular section of the book.

Anyone reading Ulyssess is welcome to join in the discussion. I hope for the most dynamic discussion we'll have a few readers keeping a similar pace through this challenging book. Please play nice and be respectful. We're doing this for fun. No plagairism. We'll be more impressed if you find and cite a great resource than if you steal someone else's work. On the same note, no stealing the words of the contributers here for your book report, College Boy.

Check in on and contribute to the posts with Resources for getting started as well as Joycean references.

Now tell us who you are and what interested you in reading Ulysses?
