I'll have a pint but I ain't reading nutting.

Great novel, but I read it once, and that's enough.

Quote:
Leopold Bloom - lead charater of Joyce's epic novel Ulysses (a thematic parallel to Homer's epic poem The Oddyssey) spends June 16th strolling the town and worrying about his wife's infidelities (while engaging in some of his own) June 16th is forever Bloomsday in honor of the most complex novel ever written... about a man's rather ordinary day, no less. Literary geeks rejoice (or is it re-Joyce?) |
I was in Dublin last week, it is a pretty big deal there today. I might head to the local for a couple of pints of Guinness goodness soon myself.
|
So let me get this straight, there is a holiday in honor of a character in a book?

the lead character in the most important novel in the english language |
Why is it so important?
