It sounds really interesting, although my professor did mention that it's something of a beast as far as size goes.<br /><br />I also want to point out that you have, in fact, helped me directly though this blog. On my PRAXIS, there was a question about <i>Gulliver's Travels</i> (which I've never read) that I could only answer because only the day before you had put up your first post about the book :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038548350220435559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-72735859187169192402010-06-21T20:54:40.675-04:002010-06-21T20:54:40.675-04:00I strongly recommend reading both Dubliners and A ...I strongly recommend reading both <i>Dubliners</i> and <i>A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man</i> before <i>Ulysses</i>. The books really build on each other, both stylistically and thematically. The hero of <i>Portrait</i> is one of the main characters of <i>Ulysses</i>.<br /><br /><i>Dubliners</i> is not written in an unusually difficult style, not at all. Many readers who think Joyce just goes too far with <i>Ulysses</i> and <i>Finnegans Wake</i> absolutely love <i>Dubliners</i>.Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-51127420180263105942010-06-21T09:54:37.022-04:002010-06-21T09:54:37.022-04:00All this park experience will make you a better pa...All this park experience will make you a better parent ;).

I particularly love Tolstoy; he's one of my favorite authors! Good luck with James Joyce, though. He scares me, too. ;)<br /><br />Also, I hope you are able to find a new apartment with a better location quickly, so you can move in as soon as your lease expires.Zarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351228605553052771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-79953201491744767852010-06-21T05:25:01.758-04:002010-06-21T05:25:01.758-04:00Joyce scares me as well.
