Ulysses: Annotated Edition | James Joyce

Saw this photo of Marilyn Monroe and it reminded me of the Shakespeare and Company‘s Ulysses buddy read a few years ago

Ellmann's Joyce: The Biography of a Masterpiece and Its Maker | Zachary Leader

Recent acquisition for our personal library.

An advance reader copy collected for me from this year's American Library Association conference by my new boss and library director. A kind and unexpected gift.

Ulysses | James Joyce

10/100, but it's more like 75/100 adjusted for Ulysses.

Notable titles of those I read:
1) Howards End (loved it)
2) The Trial (loved it)
3) Ulysses (loved being done with it)

Leniverse That's how I feel about Ulysses too 😂 7mo

dabbe You get a standing ovation for ULYSSES! 🤩 #TFPAS (Thanks for playing and sharing) 😊 7mo

Ulysses | James Joyce

I have tried several times to read the tagged. Bleak House was the last Dickens I read. The Grapes of Wrath is on my tbr. #TLT @dabbe

dabbe I simply cannot get into ULYSSES. I've tried many times, too. I just don't have the patience! LOVE Bleak House and Grapes. Thanks for playing and sharing. 💜💜💜 8mo

Ulysses | James Joyce

I need your opinion! What would you do: I have a honeymoon ahead in august. We‘ll have a long distance journey there (~20h) and back (~28h) plus two shorter journeys (~4h) between locations. First week will be lots of sightseeing, second week will be spent mainly at the beach (lots of reading time). Would you take many short(er) books to get a dent in your TBR (and how many??) or one chunkster (I‘m thinking Ulysses) plus maybe two lighter reads?

LeahBergen I would definitely go for more beach reads! I‘ve taken big fat classics on holiday before (and I DO love them) but never seem as eager to dive into them. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1y

yourfavouritemixtape I think you should bring other books to take your head off Ulysses for a bit every now and then. I don‘t think I could have read it with no other books in between. :) 1y

ju.ca.no @LeahBergen @yourfavouritemixtape thanks for the tips🤗 you‘re probably right and I should tackle lighter reads! 1y

kspenmoll On a honeymoon I would definitely take easy reads! 1y
