ReJoyce Dublin for today is the 100th Bloomsday, celebrating James Joyce's epic novel Ulysses.

Ulysses is a vast novel: Project Gutenberg has it in various formats for downloads, although the BBC's Cheat's guide may be more palatable for many people. I've been reading Ulysses on and off for about ten years now, ever since I took it on holiday to Greece - I can read a paperback in 2-4 hours, so a hefty tome or a suitcase full of books were the options, I chose Ulysses.

Ulysses brings back happy memories of sitting on a sunny hotel balcony with my feet up, sipping ouzo, reading and being entertained. Molly Bloom's finish to the book sums it up for me: "Yes".

The only sad point in the proceedings being the continued copywrong nonsense by the Joyce estate. One can only hope the new edition sorts the situation out for good.
