Yes that's what I meant. And I don't even have the book with me to read a bit in celebration.

WEll to be precise you have the night for your debauchery & you should be getting home around what, 4am was it?
dont forget your ashplant. (He lifts his ashplant high with both hands and smashes the chandelier. Time's livid final flame leaps and, in the following darkness, ruin of all space, shattered glass and toppling masonry.) |

I forgot too. I'm not too bummed, I was reading Gravity's Rainbow, which I like better anyway.
And since Faulkner is my favorite author, I don't think you did half bad either. |

Ah interesting. That bit is in Circe right? Interesting because Stephen is thinking about "toppling masonry" referring to war earlier in the part when he's teaching/getting paid, I can't remember which. I wonder what the significance of it being repeated there is. |

I'd forgot it was Bloomsday yesterday until this morning, however, I did pick up (first time in over a month) Ulysses last night and read 10 pages (90 to go) all without knowing it was Bloomsday.

You know of the novel Ulysses by james Joyce right? The protagonist is called Leopold Bloom and the entire events of the book happen on 16th June 1904, hence 'Bloomsday' or Bloom's day.

What's wrong? I answered the question.
Oh yeah and it takes place in Dublin so you can go to Dublin and reenact the route Bloom takes through the city. |

You're thinking of Finnegan's Wake. Ulysses is really hard especially in particular places, sometimes to the point where it is incomprehensible without much re reading and frequent use of dictionary. With Finnegan's Wake the dictionary is useless.
