It was my 30th birthday today and the only call to "Wish me a Happy Birthday" was from my bank.
Went and got some used book, though.

I was going to read Ulysses first. Read some and enjoyed it, it has a cadence that holds my attention. Any notes before I read it tonight. Thanks.

Life happens in relation to others. A person without a peer group is functionally not a person. Validation/rejection cannot occur in a social void.

That's a pretty strong motivation no never become an antisemite, because gone will be your last call.

OP here. Yea, I hear a lot of pseuds pretending Ulysses is a hard read. Genuinely not seeing the issue and I'm 360 pages in...is this like how people pretend Infinite Jest is difficult to follow? Thanks.
