Hello: I am an English professor who has studied and taught literature of the Caribbean Diaspora.

Inspired by a recent story in the Wall Street Journal, about a long-running reading group in which the members read books aloud -- 35 or so pages a meeting -- they've read Dickens, Milton, Tolstoy, Faulkner, the Brontes, Eliot, Austen.

Ulysses is one of those books that, if you didn't read it in college, you're not likely to ever read it in adult life. So many of us who used to love reading books, maybe majored in English in college, now don't have the time to really read anymore. The purpose of this meetup is simple: Let's read Joyce's Ulysses, as a group, this winter/spring. We'll meet regularly, give ourselves motivation to read the book and discuss it, and get to check it off a list. I've read it twice in college so I can …
