Bliss by Harry Bliss for January 25, 2022

I don’t get past stately, plump Buck Mulligan shaving himself.

“And the Head Coach Wants No Sissies So He Reads To Us From Something Called ‘Ulysses’”. Alan Sherman

I never got past the title page, if I’m honest.

Looks like the kid has the right idea , sleep on this one .

I remember starting to read it……

How to make sure that your kids get plenty of sleep…

There are people who get references to Ulysses?

Skip to the part about the Cyclops getting stabbed in the eye. What child wouldn’t want to hear that at bedtime?

They tried Proust, but he couldn’t stay awake until The Narrator got out of bed. But then, hardly anyone does.

I’m surprised that the father makes it that far.

Further than i ever got, for sure!

Actually a nice rendering of James Joyce on the back cover.

Read him Mollies soliloquy if you want to keep him awake.

Wow! I shoulda read “War and Peace” instead of “The Wind in the Willows”.

Long books like that can make me sleepy just as well.

“Funny? Funny HOW?”
