I was just reading Trish’s post about her Foodie Challenge and when I saw her comment that “we haz no button yet” it reminded me that I need to make a button for our Ulysses readalong, which is officially set to kick off in February. Unofficially, we will be “Jousting with Joyce.” I may need to find a sword.
And that’s the point of this post…an unofficial notice of our (me and the Trish (a)s) intent to read Ulysses starting in February. Details will follow (reading schedule, the aforementioned button, sign-ups), but if you’re a planner and want to join us in this madcap adventure, mark your calendar for February 1st and get your hands on the book!

Never! But I hope you guys have fun
But it’s a classic!!
The Trish(a)s. Ha!
PS–you’re a foodie. You joining us for the challenge? Hey–if I’m going to be reading Ulysses for 6 weeks I’ve got to find SOMETHING else to fill my time, right?
I’m in too. Scary!
And also – any thoughts on the best edition to get?
I have no idea…I bought the one with the hat, just because I thought it looked cool.
Wait. I’m still sitting here stunned. You are listening to Lolita. Reading War and Peace. and still going to start Ulysses? What sort of crazy reading punishment endurance award are you working towards?
