Bloomsday

Just a brief post to announce that I will be participating in a Bloomsday Readalong, at least in some capacity. o from Délaissé has organized the readalong, and you can find more information here:

The Bloomsday Readalong: Sign Ups

This Bloomsday -- June 16, 2012 (my 20th birthday!) -- I am going to start reading Ulysses by James Joyce. The hardcore are going to start at 8 am and read the entire novel according to a time schedule. Since I probably won't be able to finish Ulysses in one day, I'm going to begin at 8 am and read as much as I can, and as much as I want. Then I'll continue reading in the following days.

Also, I will probably listen to the BBC's Ulysses radio drama, as suggested by the lovely Samara.

Very excited for Bloomsday this year... love having a literary birthday.

  1. Good luck! I recommend using the following websites, when reading Ulysses:

    And have a copy of Gifford's notes handy!
