Hold onto that: those Odyssey notes of yours are going to come in handy as you read Joyce's Ulysses. I am looking forward to following from afar your group's increased enjoyment of Joyce's art because (see U4.354-5: —Yes, [Molly Bloom] said. There's nothing smutty in it.) you and Joyce recognize a salacious pun.

I was definitely overwhelmed doing both Sandman and The Odyssey at once, and am happier now that it's just Odysseus.

It should be here next week. I'm looking forward to reading as a "project", instead of just my usual random list. :) I ordered my copy from Powell’s Books in Portland (used)..it has the black and white cover.
