So yesterday was Bloomsday…as you may have read in all things jen(nifer), we began reading “A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” the other night. She finished. I didn’t…yet.

See, neither of us had previously read any Joyce, and we were told to start with “Portrait” and “Dubliners” before attempting to tackle “Ulysses.” I just so happened to have two paperback copies of “Portrait” on hand. (Yard sales and thrift stores are beautiful things…)

In addition to “celebrating” Bloomsday, this effort is part of my “I need to read more classic literature because now I’m an English teacher” quest.

😀

I meant to finish it last night, but had an awful headache. But I did listen to some brick-throwing Celtic rock. That must count for something…
