What we’re about
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.

See all- Ulysses: HadesTen Trees Books, Natick, MA
We'll be discussing the third episode of Part II informally known as Hades. It is around 29 pages long in most editions. Since most copies of the novel don't clearly show where the chapters begin, here is a breakdown:
Hades begins with "Martin Cunningham, first, poked his silkhatted head into the creaking carriage and, entering deftly, seated himself." and ends with "Thank you. How grand we are this morning."
