sasha
It goes without saying that the list of suckers exceeds all expectations. But will we persevere?
As noted earlier Sasha (big thank you!) obtained several english copies. Perhaps you could mention the edition here for the benefit of others, namely Greg? I think Israel and Elsa have editions on the way via Rayuela, and Paola reported that she is late in picking one up.
No matter though- Catpatz and I are off to do some snowboarding all of next week, so we presumably won’t commence the pain until later in January. Maybe people want to weigh in on some official starting dates?

Delivery of English Ulysses
Wow the first to post to the blog – how exciting.
Happy to announce 4 English language copies of Ulysses have arrived in CPH.
I’m not actually 100% certain (as I missed the original Ulysses Experiment discussion) what exactly this experiment is … er..well … experimenting. But I have already made some initial experiments of my own I’d like to report on.
Experiment 1. What Is A Typical Response From Your Average London Bookshop Assistant When Purchasing 4 Copies Of Ulysses.
RESULT. Good Luck!! Those are heavy.
Further experiments are required to determine whether he meant heavy as in Weight or Literary depth.
Experiment 2. As a follow up to the first part of follow up to Experiment 1: How Heavy (in weight) are four copies of Ulysses. Experiment methodology – act as literature mule to carry Ulysses x4 on foot, bike, plane, train and bus across international borders and time zones.
Result. They are some heavy shit.
Looking forward to testing Literary Heaviness of books.
Some action…
