Oh I almost forgot –  Happy Birthday Mr. Leopold Bloom – born this day  (6/16) in the mind of James Joyce on the streets of Dublin-town!

I’ve read (from left)  Dubliners,  Ulysses,  Finnegans Wake, and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man.

My favorite is probably Finnegans Wake followed by Dubliners.

Today they have been set free in Ireland –  How long for the US to catch up?

“End here. Us then. Finn, again! Take. Bussoftlhee, mememormee!  Till thousandsthee. Lps. The keys to. Given! A way a lone a last a loved a long the riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.”
