proposal: 1 week pause

Saturday, March 7th, 2009

Since pretty much everyone is behind, I propose moving the section slated for tomorrow (never going to happen) to next Sunday instead.  I assume people agree that would be okay?

I updated the calendar to reflect that change.

To make things clear, the 1st section of chapter 2- posts due next sunday!  Sound doable?

I know it might be a little late, but how do we know which pages we have to read each week?

So, how does it work?

Hi all,

I lent a Spanish copy of the Ulysses and I am ready to start with the experiment. My only question is: how are we going to do this?

Are we going to post our comments/views weekly about every chapter? Israel told me we can also take a photo or make a drawing, can we also write a short story? I am a little bit lost…

Tak!

emails

Friday, February 13th, 2009

so i thought emails were going out nightly and indeed they are not.  i’m posting tests and changing settings to see if people receive this… -ben

get reading and posting

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

hey, so i believe everyone (possibly including the canadians) has procured at least temporary copies of the first reading assignment (beginning of the novel to first section break, indicated by a line or maybe just a big space, occuring on or around p.28). so i guess it’s time to begin.

get reading the first section and post something by sunday. then we’ll go from there.

if you receive an email notifying you of this post can you please add a comment saying so. (some—me, for instance—are not getting notifications.)

Still no books.

Elsa reading Ulysses

General Status

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

So, the coalition of the willing now includes, alphabetically:

ben
catpatz
elsa
greg
israel
paola
sasha

It goes without saying that the list of suckers exceeds all expectations.  But will we persevere?

As noted earlier Sasha (big thank you!) obtained several english copies. Perhaps you could mention the edition here for the benefit of others, namely Greg? I think Israel and Elsa have editions on the way via Rayuela, and Paola reported that she is late in picking one up.

No matter though- Catpatz and I are off to do some snowboarding all of next week, so we presumably won’t commence the pain until later in January. Maybe people want to weigh in on some official starting dates?
