>I was being followed.
>So what, you ask? Aw, don’t be like that. I know it’s a pretty common story. Actually, it’s practically an everyday occurrence for me...
>Look, I’m just trying to spin a narrative here. Proper setup and suspense and all that. So bear with me, okay?
>Anyway, I reckoned my pursuers had to be closing in about now. They were bandits, by the way. As for why they were coming after me... Well, let’s just say I haven’t gotten a lot of honest work lately, and my purse was feeling so neglected that I was forced to raid a bandit hideout and avail myself of some treasure.
>Yeah, I know. It doesn’t sound good. I didn’t take much, though! Seriously! In the grand scheme of things, it was like the most minuscule speck of dirt under a pixie’s fingernail! Yet for some reason, these jerks just couldn’t let it go. That’s why they’ve been following me and following me and following me ever since! How stingy can you be?
>Well, I guess if you’re the giving type, you generally don’t choose “bandit” as your top career choice...
>Anyway, this wasn’t quite “bandits flitting in and out of my peripheral vision” levels of urgent yet. It’s just... my dainty little legs can only carry me so fast, you know? I can’t outrun a bunch of big, stinky men. I know they’re gonna catch up to me sooner or later... Oh, what will become of our fair heroine Lina?!
>Who’s Lina, you ask? Seriously?! Me! I’m Lina!
>Ahem. Anyway...

If owing your worldview to it, revising it, and making it stronger is 'anti' then sure.

I suppose Marx was anti-hegelian as well.

Recommend some good biographies about historical figures/leaders.

I’m specifically looking for JFK at the moment, but also looking for an expanded reading list

Legit got a boner reading about her getting felt up in the carriage while Bloom looked up at the fucking stars lmao.

The whole Gerty McDowell episode is pure boner fuel for me.

However, let us all take this into account and feel very sorry for Bloom

>Molly is 33 in June 1904
>A major plot point is that she has not allowed Bloom to fuck her since their son Rudy died shortly after childbirth in 1894.
>They haven't had sex since late 1893 probably
>She was 23 at the time
>Leopold Bloom has had to sleep beside her EVERY NIGHT of her primo breeding age without being allowed to get into that qt curvy irish cunny
>After 11 years of this, on the day of the novel she cucks him with a guy they both have known for a long time and everyone in Dublin knows this.

It is a miracle that Bloom does not end the novel going postal and unavertently starting the Easter Rising 12 years in advance.

It hasn't "come to this", It has been like this for multiple decades; the fact is that men don't read any more and the industry is dying, perhaps as a result.
