The T.C. O’Leary’s Literary Society

Inspired by the tremendous amount of literary talent from a country as small as Ireland, our little Irish pub hosts a robust literary society. Three separate book clubs meet weekly on the back patio of the pub. Even in the colder months, the intrepid members bundle up to read outside and out loud together. All three welcome newcomers. See more details below about each group and email info@tcolearys.com if you’re interested in joining.

Mondays 6-8pm

This group reads works of literature related to the season. Before Halloween, they started the gothic horror classic Dracula by Irish writer Bram Stoker. Their next novel will be decided soon.

Tuesdays 6-8pm

For seven years, this group has been reading novels by Irish writers. They have read over a dozen books so far, from classics to modern mysteries. Each selection is discussed and voted on by the group. Depending on length, they start a new book about every other month.

Wednesdays 6-8pm

In the fall, a group of Joyce fans and other brave souls begin Ulysses with the goal of finishing by Bloomsday the following June. You don’t need a literature degree, just your own copy and a willingness to give it a go!
