About us
Love books? Love conversation? Come by the Natick Literature Group at Ten Trees Books in Natick Center. Each month, we’ll read a new book—from classics to contemporary—and share ideas that go beyond the surface.
Once a month, we’ll also be tackling Ulysses by James Joyce, chapter by chapter. It’s your chance to explore a literary masterpiece at your own pace, with a group that’s here for the fun.
No pretension, just a love for reading and good conversation in a welcoming bookstore setting. Whether you’re a seasoned literary hipster or just curious, come and see where literature take us.
Ten Trees Books will be open late for our events.

Ulysses: Nausikaa
Morse Institute Library, 14 E Central St, Natick, MA, USWe'll be discussing the thirteenth episode of Ulysses informally known as Nausikaa. The chapter is around 37 pages long in most editions. Since most copies of the novel don't clearly show where the chapters begin, here is a breakdown:
Nausikaa begins with "The summer evening had begun to fold the world in its mysterious embrace." and ends with "Cuckoo."
