Bloomsday

Happy Bloomsday.

I am on the verge of finishing " Love in the Time of Cholera" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, an overly long, boring and not very well written book.

Next up - Ulysses.

Civer me, I’m going in.

Happy Bloomsday to all. Might hit Davy Byrne’s myself.

Read that a while ago Fitzy. Bored me stupid but when you know it’s a classic ye have to persist with it I suppose. It’s put me off attacking 100 Years of Solitude.

Good luck with Ulysses.

I reside close to Sandycove so there’ll be plenty of Joyceheads around tomorrow to giggle at.

Is there a thread on TFK that you don’t actually respond to NCC? I’d love to find one.

Read the last line of that piece there:

How sick, sick, sick I am of Dublin! he wrote in 1909. It is the city of failure, of rancour and of unhappiness.

100 years on, has anything changed!
