weekly check-in

This a recurring weekly online meetup to discuss what we've read, what we're reading, and what we want to do.

The motivation behind this is two-fold:

1. I've put James Joyce's Ulysses on the schedule for October, about 20 weeks out. It has 18 chapters, and I promised readers that we would have a weekly meetup to review our progress.
2. We keep reading books about self-improvement, and yet this 'self' continues to struggle to improve. Maybe this is a chance to join with other strugglers to move forward.

Here's a link to the Ulysses resources that I find useful.

Episode 9 - "Scylla and Charybdis"

• At the National Library, Stephen explains to some scholars his biographical theory of the works of Shakespeare, especially Hamlet, which he argues are based largely on the posited adultery of Shakespeare's wife.
• Buck Mulligan arrives and interrupts to read out the telegram that Stephen had sent him indicating that he would not make their planned rendezvous at The Ship.
• Bloom enters the National Library to look up an old copy of the ad he has been trying to place. He passes in between Stephen and Mulligan as they exit the library at the end of the episode.
