By JERRY GRIT
The twread-thru Ulysses continues…
174. Horserace talk from Flynn. Chix dig cold noses&beards&dogs. LB likes wine w/sandwich, thinks can go home @ 6 & that we eat odd things.
175. Who 1st thought 2 eat oysters? People who eat tainted food, special food. LBs waiter fantasy. Sees flies doink. Wine is LBs #madeleine.

ULYSSES Recap, pp. 163-173 of “Lestrygonians”

By JERRY GRIT
**********Wandering Rocks Alert**********
Some dude in Dublin is also tweeting though Ulysses! (I discovered this when I hashtagged Ulysses… apparently the old “#” can be helpful when it’s not abused). He’s way back in “Hades,” but he’s not really summarizing a page per tweet. So he could catch up!
We must all make a vow. [...]

ULYSSES Recap, pp. 151-162 of “Lestrygonians”

By JERRY GRIT
First, this should have been your face…

Second, here’s the first part of my tweet-thru Ulysses‘ “Lestrygonians” chapter, minus the shameless hashtag exploitation (which was completely unsuccessful in inflating our follower number).
151. LB wandering, handed religious flyer. Recalls glowing cross they lived by before. Sees SD’s sister. Criticizes church on [...]

A “Lestrygonians” Preview and 13 Good Reasons

By JERRY GRIT
There are many reasons I’ve gone astray the last few weeks and haven’t been administering to full capacity. Here are 13 good ones…
1. I moved.
2. To a fixer-upper.
3. I got a metal shared in my eye.
4. It rusted.
5. It infected my eye.
6. I assembled these chairs.

They sort-of work, too.

7. I also painted them.

I [...]

ULYSSES Funmary #7: Aeolus (plus pp. 134-150)

By Brendan
Jaysis, there were a lot of windbags in this episode – windbags talking about windbags. We see again that there’s not enough room for Bloom – after being “tight” in the carriage, he’s bumped into by the Gallant Lenehan. And verbally dissed by Crawford.. And pretty much ignored by everyone else.
Another example of the [...]

ULYSSES pp. 116-133 “Aeolus”

By BRENDAN
One of the things I love about Ulysses is the familiarity of it. To have so many connections to a text written nearly a century ago is remarkable. Last month, I walked down Sackville Street (now O’Connell Street, named for Daniel, who got a mention in the Hades episode). I passed the General Post [...]

ULYSSES Funmary #6: Hades

By KATIE ELSE
Okay, so Saturday turned into Sunday (which is rapidly turning into Monday…) But! we are done with Hades in all of it’s gloominess. The good news is, friends, that we are out of hell. One can only assume that it’s just going to be kittens and rainbows from here on out!

I hope I’m [...]
