Greetings, Reader. Has James Joyce's Ulysses been on your To-Be-Read List for a long while? Perhaps you want to see what the fuss is all about. Maybe you've made attempts over the years but need a buddy or two to join you so you don't have to go it alone.

Regardless of what brought you here: JTL's new book club, House of Keyes, is for you. Gather with friends and strangers for an info session to mark Bloomsday 2024 as the kick off and prepare to start our reading in September where we will meet monthly to wander through the surreal work of Joyce.
