About This!

Wandering Rocks is an online reading collective/social media experience/support group that is reading James Joyce’s Ulysses. We began on June 16th, 2009, to commemorate the single day Ulysses depicts, June 16th, 1904. We stalled in September. We resume on Bloomsday, 2010. We will resume where we left off…page 219. Here is the new plan.

Participation is open to all. Participation involves following one-day-at-a-time one-tweet summaries of each page of Ulysses.

The reboot of the project will rely heavily on the Wandering Rocks Twitter account… follow it immediately.

Here’s are the collected one-tweet summaries of each page of Ulysses.

Here’s a complete list of our Ulysses reviews and funmaries (fun + summaries… get it?)

Since Joyce uses events from Homer’s Odyssey to structure Ulysses, it really helps to familiarize yourself with those events. To enable this familiarization, Ben Vore, Jerry Grit, Mark Hoobler, Tad Smith, Andrew Cashmere, and Brooke Jackson tag-team wrote Odyssey Funmaries… fun summaries of Homer’s epic! … at the breakneck pace of one per day. It was our countdown to Bloomsday and the day we begin reading Ulysses!

This is your chance to read, enjoy, and marginally understand what is often considered THE GREATEST BOOK OF ALL TIME. This will be quite a feather in your cap, in a time when cap feathers are so very hard to come by.
