Stephen must have been such a punchable prick while mulligan seems like an absolute bro
That being said it is I guess ironic that this of all days is the day I give up on reading ulysses. My ESL ass just can't deal with Aeolus

Bloomsday, home. At least it was before I bucked everything up.

It's been 2 years and I'm still waiting on R.C. Waldun to drop his Bloomsday Part 2 video. He uploaded Part 1 and promised a Part 2 where we would actually see what he did in Dublin on Bloomsday. Part 1 only covered his time in London before Bloomsday :(
Why did Waldun fail us? I don't understand :(

It's only been 1 year, surely?

You're right, it has only been one year. But that doesn't take away from the fact that Waldun cucked us. He hasn't uploaded the Part 2 he teased. I'm angry. I'm upset. How could I have possibly known that R.C. Waldun would not deliver on his promises?

>Joyce chose to set his novel on this date as it was the date of his first sexual encounter with his wife-to-be, Nora Barnacle.
You reckon he fucked her arseways on this very day? I just might have to find one of the naughtier chapters and read a lil to celebrate.

Sad but fair, i found a good annotated epub that definitely helps with some of the chapters. I'm also ESL but i pushed through and have even went back for a second reading.

What's your favorite chapter?

For me, it's "Eumaeus."

I tried to visit that tower in Dublin and see the James JOyce museum but I got forced on the wrong train to go to Howth instead. It was a disappointment but I did see a sea lion over there, then on the train back a bunch of college girls were taking off their shoes and talking and laughing about how badly their feet smelled. if you have been to that tower, how was it?

There's no real evidence that they did anything sexual on Bloomsday, except a single vaguely worded letter.

It's funny to think that if Joyce lived today he might very well be a virulent antisemite. He was a pacifist and a proponent of broad international cooperation; the modern state of Israel is basically his worst nightmare from a geopolitical perspective.

Cracks me up that Bloom's a bigger Irish nationalist than anyone yet gets mocked because he's a goofy ethnicity and has a buxom wife.
