My #FridayReads (as the Twitterati likes to hash tag) is going to be the same for the next year. Choosing to study James Joyce's ULYSSES. 2.5 pages (total of 783) a day. Have annotated version backup and a graphic novel for assistance.
Memorable sentences so far:
"Parried again. He fears the lancet of my art as I fear that of his. The cold steel pen."
"He kills his mother but he can't wear grey trousers."
"It is a symbol of Irish art. The cracked lookingglass of a servant."
'You behold in me, Stephen said with grim displeasure, a horrible example of free thought."
"History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake."
I have failed before myself. This time I'm armed, I feel, with the right tools to scale the tower. The link to the comic book has been essential in understanding episode 1: Telemachus. Plus having the annotated study guide at my ready has been a godsend.
