I have a great recommendation for those who are knee deep up to their necks in Ulysses- 'The Years of Bloom' by the Joycean scholar and long time Trieste resident John McCourt (available from lilliput press) This highly readable book charts Joyce's years living in Trieste while writing Ulysses and fills in so many background details of his life and the society (political, religious, artistic, cultural, multicultural...) If you want to discover why the central character Bloom is a Hungarian Jew, why he is a Christian convert, why Joyce breaks up and reassembled language and so much more- this book will reveal much

Hi all. I just joined (9/26). I'm currently reading, short stories of Dostoyevsky, after thoroughly enjoying the short stories of Tolstoy. His short stories are excellent, especially the latter ones, although they seem to be largely overlooked in the West. I'm also completing Cormac Mcarthy's "All the Pretty Horses" after completing his "Blood Meridian". The latter should be excellent prep for "Dracula"; you won't find anything else in literature much bloodier. Anyone have any insights into the Judge?

Hi Philip :) It's so great to have you here reading with us. Both Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy's shorter fiction really is splendid stuff. Do you have a favourite so far? And wonderful to hear you're enjoying 'All the Pretty Horses'. I'm very excited for Cormac's new novels coming out very soon... Later this month, I believe? As for the Judge, I've noticed that when I've completed a reading of Blood Meridian, I start to see him everywhere in the real world... Frightening book.
