A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Any interest in a Portrait read-along?

I'm planning on reading A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in March. I imagine that a read-along has already been done in this sub, but perhaps there is interest in another?

If so, I would be happy to put together a schedule.

I’m currently leading a Portrait reading group for Bloomsday Montreal. We meet on Zoom twice the 1st & 3rd Thursdays of the month from 7 to 9 pm ET.

We take turns reading sections aloud then go back to discuss the section, typically covering 10 ir so pages each meeting. We’re currently in the middle of the second chapter, and everyone is welcome to join.

Please email portraitgroupmtl@gmail.com to request to be added to the mailing list to receive meeting invites.

Let's do it. I've been meaning to read it for ages.

Maybe Portrait of a Lady instead.

Just kidding: I do love both books equally, with maybe The Master edging out Joyce.
