While readers join Ulysses in 80 from around the world, two ongoing in-person gathering spaces accompany the 2026 reading—one in Dublin and one along the Northern California coast.
Co-stewarded by Cliona O'Farrelly in Dublin and Mark Sanford Gross in California, these conversations unfold across oceans, time zones, walks, libraries, firesides, cafés, and shared pages of Ulysses.
Dublin
Throughout the 80 days, readers in Dublin gather for weekly conversations, walks, and pub outings—led by Cliona O'Farrelly, Robert Nicholson, and Liz Watson, with Trinity's Unit18 on Macken Street as home base. Learn more about Trinity's Unit 18. All Ulysses in 80 readers visiting Dublin are welcome.

Northern California
Along the Mendonoma Coast, readers gather each week as part of the worldwide Ulysses in 80 reading experience. The Sea Ranch Lodge sits on the bluffs above the Pacific—and inside, we meet in the Fireside Lounge for conversation, reflection, and shared discovery.
Whether you're a longtime reader, picking up Ulysses for the first time, or simply curious, you're welcome.
Weekly Gatherings
The Sea Ranch Lodge — Fireside Lounge
Mondays • 4 PM – 6 PM

Curious about what all the fuss about Ulysses is? Visitors and folks from along the coast are warmly welcome.
If you're nearby—or traveling up the coast—there's always a seat.
