I see the Irish are being punished with a 2.30am kick-off time for spawning Joyce and inflicting Ulysses upon the world. Fitting I suppose. (I jest).
Actually, left field question here. Is that a young Norma Jean reading the book in the photo?

Haa, good point.

And Marilyn Monroe is reading Ulysses in the photo. She had her own system for reading it, explained here: http://time.com/3809940/marilyn-monroe-james-joyce-photo/

@neilstrauss, great idea! :)

Really liked your image of Marilyn Monroe. That Time article had a link to more pictures of Marilyn reading: http://mycroft.com.au/2011/10/photographs-of-marilyn-monroe-reading/
