Slow down, read closely, think and discuss - that's what we are asking you to do in this club. For banned book week, Debbie Challis has chosen a few passages from James Joyce's Ulysses. Turn off your smart phones, step away from the hectic pace of life, and discuss words.

The Portico Library has a 1925 edition of Ulysses, which was banned in the US and UK. This copy was originally printed in Paris and smuggled to the UK.
