I'm currently making my way through Plutarch. For readers with a yen for ancient Greece and Rome, it's fun stuff.
I have read Ulysses. I do love me some Joyce. Portrait is the reason why Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt was so good for me. It had this odd way of taking me back to when I was 14. If you haven't read Angela's Ashes, it's a Pulitzer winner that deserved every bit of that award.
Yeah, I read Angela's Ashes and loved it (thanks, Mom, for the great B-Day gift!). Did you read 'Tis? It lacks the impact of its predecessor but was a good read nonetheless.
I've long wanted to travel to Dublin for Bloom's Day to take in the events. Would love to see what, if anything, is left of Dublin from 1904.
