The head coach wants no sissies, so he reads to us from something called "Ulysses"
On the anniversary of "Bloomsday", BBC news posted their summary of James Joyce's "Ulysses".

Stephen Fry, for one, is not amused, while other commenters post their own summaries of the book.

Some of my favorite comments:

The book is pretentious hogwash, a classic because the pretentious, intellectual mafia say it is. Don't waste your time on this drivel.
Paul Burns, Liverpool England

Irish novelist disappears up own back passage. Collects royalty cheque.
Andy Bellinger, Reigate ,UK

Watch the Coen Brothers "O'brother, where art thou?" It'll all become much clearer!
Robin Hull, London UK

Who needs sleeping pills. I have read Ulysses every night for the past eight years and never have trouble getting to sleep. I'm nearly up to page six.

How does one join the "intellectual mafia", anyway? Is there hazing involved?
