The spirits of Fellini and Bunuel frolick in your cherubic countenance!

Usted es un genio!

Cute video - have you read Proust from start to finish? I got stalled in Volume IV for several years, then made the final push. It was worth it.

Then of course there's the Wake....

oh, jamelah! you're fabulous.

i know you can do this
i just feel that the pages will somehow pass, one after the other, in one huge long sentence manner.
it'll all be good.
and you'll inspire me to consider picking it up again.

Ha! That rocks! If you do it I'll do it.

I've never finished it either, but your charming video is giving me inspiration to do so. Nice job.

Sehr gut. But who is Mr Darcy?

  • reply
by Levi Asher on Thursday, November 13, 2008 12:15 am

TKG, I believe this refers to a character from "Pride and Prejudice".

If you don't like reading and needsapush...this would be my video of Joyce!

I'm gonna give Ulysses a seeing to soon, does anyone recommend a specfic reading guide? I've heard horror stories from people who did without.

  • reply
by Bill Ectric on Thursday, November 13, 2008 03:51 pm

I'm hoping Jamelah will write a guide to it!

  • reply
by Paul Maher Jr. on Thursday, November 13, 2008 09:48 pm

try doing it with one of the two available unabridged CD sets . . . that will push you through and good luck!

  • reply
by Bill Ectric on Friday, November 14, 2008 01:15 pm

You know, Paul has a really excellent idea. That's the way to read Ulysses! I say this because, while I liked William S. Burroughs before I heard him read, I loved the man's writing after I heard him read it.

Quite a good tip.

  • reply
by Will Tupper on Friday, November 14, 2008 02:40 pm

I laughed... I cried... I didn't finish it, either! Jamelah, your video was a pure piece of entertainment pleasure.

  • reply
by Duncan Brown on Friday, November 14, 2008 05:11 pm

Reading it for Christmas, perhaps Lent.

Since you've been waiting so long on this project, you might as well read Beckett.

Hey! Beckett is the anti-spam name for this post too!

I tell ya, it's a sign...
