Okay granted, there are definitely a lot of bad ones out there, but you can't deny that most of these shaped the literature standards today even if you say these are all quite average lmaooo
They did Don Quixote, Moby Dick, and The War of the Worlds, so the only logical next step was "Manga Classic Readers Ulysses" by James Joyce. January, 2012.
So... my Ulysses edition just arrived and it is ENORMOUS. I was expecting something really thick but the weight impressed me. Still, I don't know when I'm gonna start reading this because I have a loooong list of books that I have bought but haven't read yet. I also kinda cheated because I borrowed My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante at my uni library so I'm trying to be more loyal to my decision.
theres no way that hey shitass wanna see me speedbridge was actually inspired by James Joyce's Ulysses chapter 15 Circe when the Motorman tells him to flip then when he does hes like "ur bad u suck close shave no thoroughfare must take up Sandow's exerciser again bitchass hattrick more like shoetrick"

Every life is in many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love, but always meeting ourselves.
Professor Emeritus Chong Keon Kim (김종건), who tranlated all of Joyce's major works (include Finnegans Wake) into Korean, has passed on Dec. 2nd 2023 at the age of 89.
