I was talking to my sister over lunch yesterday, mentioning Ulysses - she trying to understand why I had spent the past year reading it. It's hard to explain but - everytime I told anyone about what I'd read, instead of being as amazed as I'd been they'd sink further into the notion that I was wasting my time. When I mentioned that I was now reading it again (approx. one paragraph a week) she threw up her hands. There may well be two types of persons in the world. Those who have finished Ulysses and...

Thank you Mr. Delaney.
