Some Pregame Thoughts

So, as I prepare to begin (i.e., find time to get my lazy a - - over to the bookstore to buy the book), I figured I'd post a few “pregame” thoughts just to get into the swing of things. First off, I ran across something really interesting today, something I’m taking as a sign that this project was meant to be. Apparently, among other great and rare manuscripts and books, the Rosenbach Museum & Library in Philadelphia has in its possession a handwritten version of Ulysses. Not only that, but they have a reading group devoted to Ulysses that meets once a month, starting on Feburary 4th. This of course fits perfectly into the spirit of this whole thing so I think I’ll pay the place a visit and perhaps join this kind of scary sounding reading club.
