I've been re-reading The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen again. Those and Black Hawk Down are always in the shitter, round these parts. Good stuff.

What point are you at in Ulysses, Nick?

Only about a quarter of the way through, I'm afraid. Both times after starting the book, something came up and I put it aside. I intend to read it carefully; I savor Joyce's writing like some people swish fine wine around in their mouths before swallowing. I want to read the book through without interruption, but what I will probably do is re-read the part I already read at five times the speed, read what I have left normally, and re-read the whole thing again immediately afterward.

The second time I began Ulysses, I lost my job, and the drudgery of looking for work, coupled with all the other projects I had at that time, led me to put it back on the shelf vowing to get to it in a couple of weeks. This week, I finally put it in the pile of books I am currently reading.

If you ever feel like discussing one of the episodes, e-mail me or post about it - I love talking about the book. I still read Scylla and Charybdis pretty regularly, Circe too, although I love every episode.

Noted. Thanks. After I finish it, we'll talk more.

I'm about to start Dante's Divine Comedy. Ulysses has been staring me in the face for quite some time as well, but I haven't gathered the gumption to try finishing it.

Just picked up Jennifer Government by Max Brad. Amazing!
