One, 11ysses<\/a>, intends, as explained on their website<\/a>, to tweet Ulysses<\/i> on June 16th (a significant date because it is Bloomsday), not in a literal sense but as Ulysses<\/i> would be experienced<\/i> on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n Thus armed — a new copy of the book and a podcast, too — I’m ready for Ulysses<\/i>. It will be in my bag, and I will read it on the morning and evening train.<\/p>\n As I said, I’ve started and not-finished Ulysses<\/i> before.

The other Twitter follower I picked up was the novelist Frank Delaney<\/a>. I read Delaney’s novel Ireland<\/i>, not long after I bought my Beetle come to think of it, when I still lived in North Carolina, and I remember liking it quite a bit. Delaney has a podcast series on Ulysses<\/i>, “Re:Joyce<\/a>,” and at work this afternoon I listened to the introductory episode<\/a>. I added the podcast’s RSS feed<\/a> to my RSS reader, and it’s also available through iTunes<\/a>.<\/p>\n
