Today is Bloomsday, in fact the 100th anniversary of the original Bloomsday. Sheila O'Malley has devoted the day to blogging about James Joyce and Leopold Bloom. Other bloggers have also touched on the subject.
As for myself I could never get into James Joyce's writing. Louis L'Amour, David Weber and Eleanora Robertson are more my speed. I am making myself a dish of kidneys for dinner tonite, after giving them a goodly bath of rinse water.
