I don't know if this will ever be read by Mr. Delaney himself, but either way I would like to thank him for illuminating so many wonderful aspects of Joyce's incredible novel. It seems I've picked a perfect time of year to pick up Ulysses and I'm so glad to have this podcast to lead me into it. This podcast is great and I only regret that, as I am now slightly ahead of them, I'll have to finish Ulysses without their help. I look forward to following this podcast for many years. Anyway, Happy Bloomsday! I'll be spending the day Re:Joycing.

Well done Mr Delaney! I have followed your podcasts all year and look forward to your continued "lectures". I find them just the right length given that there are so many layers to explore. Also your personal recollections add greatly to the exercise. Please don't change a thing!

Happy Bloomsday to all!

Thank you Mr. Delaney for a wonderful year. I am praying for your continued good health and a very long life. In order to complete this project, which has become a nearly essential part of my life, he will need to live to be nearly 100!

So to your health Good Sir!

Besides the delightful literary enlightenment, there is a great life lesson in your presentation. At over 60 it has suddenly struck me that a person can do just a tiny bit each week and create a whole universe.

Much Gratitude and Warm Regards.

P.S. Will now wait patiently for each week's unfolding.

Mr. Delaney,
I heard you on NPR a few days ago, immediately downloaded
the podcasts and started listening on my iPhone. Wonderful!
after years of reading and failing, tackling wide variety of epi-Joycian
literature and years of failure, cursing myself for flaccid intellect
and crumbling will, you are helping me to crack the code! Your
erudite commentary has shed more light on the opening pages
than I have been able to glean in all that aforementioned study!
Thank you! You are, methinks, in the middle of creating an
exegetical classic of mythical import!

I have listened to all the podcasts. Thank you Mr Delaney. I look forward to the next episodes, with your thoughtful reflections.

Really a honorable person.

These are the most illuminating and entertaining commentaries on the work I've ever seen. Many Thanks,

I am thinking about buying Ulysses for a friend of mine who is very into books. Is it any good? - Ray
