Missed it by that much

I tried reading Ulysses a couple of times and barely made a dent.

I think brother Dave gave it a full read one time and was worse for wear ultimately. I mean seriously; unless you're fluent in Latin, French, turn of the century Irish politics and can hold at least 8 structural concepts of a "story" in your head simultaneously, you're never gonna "get' this book.

Regardless, what other book compares to the spirited celebration of one day in time more than Bloomsday?...
