I've read Dubliners, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and a few poems, all of which I enjoyed. I've had Ulysses for years and still haven't got around to it yet. Mr. Joyce said it would take 1,000 years to understand Ulysses, a stream of consciousness work.

He's definitely an acquired taste. I still haven't made it through Portrait of an Artist... might give it another crack sometime though.

Yeah. I wrote a James Joyce-William Faulkner comparative analysis paper on stream of conciousness.
Almost as much fun as sex.

Then Swamper and his entourage of 30, who were all wearing TA monogramed Rolexes, left the room and flew to Hawaii for a few hours because Del wanted fresh coconut.
To his defense, Trump didn't even really look like a bum.
