PUT A BOW ON IT Here is a look inside my 1941 Bodley Head edition and you can see the green cover is a bit drab until you notice the beautiful bow on it. While no one is walking around Edwardian Dublin with a bow and arrows, the bow was the favoured weapon of Odysseus in Homer's epic. Past the cover, you can see that someone has priced the book at 50p clearly showing it as an English (or possibly Irish) book and you see that it is based on the unlimited 1937 print. Interestingly they also list the previous editions Share your book tagging this account and you will be entered in the monthly book giveaway. Thanks to Wordsworth Editions you can win #finneganswake #ulysses #dubliners and #aportraitoftheartistasayoungman #thebodleyhead #bodleyhead #ulyssss100 #ulyssescentenary #bookcover #bookcoverart #ulysseseditions #bowandarrow #odyssey #bowandarrows #bookgiveaways #jamesjoyce #bookgiveaway #jamesjoycecollection #wordsworthedition #handmemywordsworth https://www.instagram.com/p/CdoEmqCIoKq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

GOOD PUZZLE Joyce is a bit of a puzzle that can be difficult to piece together at times but for Joyce thought a "Good puzzle would be to cross Dublin without passing a pub." #jamesjoyce #ulyssescentenary #ulyssses #ulyssesproject #joycecentenary #joycebooks #joyceulysses #puzzletime #puzzle #puzzles #puzzling #puzzled #puzzler #irishwriters #jigsaw #wanttoplayagame #irishculture🇮🇪🍀 (at Dublin, Ireland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdQg5RMoD02/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

DONT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER I absolutely love Spain's artisan leatherwork and had just bought some scraps of leather myself to make a valet tray when I saw this wonderful display of leather covers decorated with paintings and designs. Dont judge a book by its cover especially when the covers made by La Gorgona look this good. I bought the #tintín one next to the #klint one and under the #nasferatu one but I wonder if @lagorgonacuero could make a James Joyce Ulysses one specially for @thegroundhogdaychallenge #ulisses #ulises #ulyssescentenary #ulysses100project #jamesjoyce #joyce #joyceulysses #ulises100anos #leatherwork #leathercrafts #leathercraft #artisans #bookcoverart #bookcoverdesign #bookcover (at El Rastro de Madrid) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdDkFTiIDkQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

WINDOW SHOPPING I passed a small book shop that I'd never really noticed before and it was nice to see James Joyce on display in the window. I guess I'll have to return sometime and take a proper look around. #windowshopping #windowshopper #joyce #joyceyear #ulyssescentenary #ulyssesproject #ulysses100project #ulyssesandcocktails https://www.instagram.com/p/CbD6RSgo186/?utm_medium=tumblr

COMPLICATED GRAFFITI I got on a near empty bus and saw my friend down the end so went to join him. Sitting on the opposite side of the bus, he called me over to show me the most complicated graffiti that I've ever seen in my life. Someone had scratched out Ulises on the back of a bus seat where my friend just happened to have sat down. There didn't seem to be any other graffiti to be seen on the bus. Someone had taken the effort to scratch out Ulysses in Spanish and add some decorative squiggles. Fair play, it made my day to see it. #bussesinspain #publictransport #graffitiart #graffitimadrid #graffiti #graffitiartists #graffitiartists #graffitiartmadrid #graffitiporn #ulises100anos #ulisesworld #ulises100 #jamesjoyceyear #jamesjoyce #ulyssesproject #ulyssescentenary #ulysses100project #joyce (at Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ca8GbD5Ixkr/?utm_medium=tumblr

GOOD COMPANY My friend Carlos used to be an editor and when I saw his collection of Walkmen things, I couldn't help but notice the Shakespeare And Company book in the top shelf. #topshelf #topshelfie #jamesjoyceyear #shakespeareandcompany #jamesjoyce #ulyssescentenary #ulysses100project #books #bookshelves #librarylover #bookshelfporn #goodcompany #goodcompany❤️ (at Shakespeare and Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/CadU-M8IlfW/?utm_medium=tumblr

HOUSE OF KEYS No sooner had I left the Bloomsday Society in Madrid's monthly reading of Ulysses and I passed a new premises boosting a logo with 2 crossed keys.

HEAD IN THE BOOKS Luca Terzoli from Cardano al Campo, 40km from Milan proudly shows off his collection of Ulisses. Wait what is the plural form of Ulysses? Ulyssess/ ulysseses/Ulii? Luca has read all of them but one and his next challenge is to read the bilingual version in English.

SMARTLY DRESSED All over the world, people are going to be picking up their copy of Ulysses but not everyone will do it in such style. Shout out to @modern_ulysses who shared this epic picture with an English language Indialog publications edition of Ulysses. #ulyssescentenary #ulyssesproject #ulysses100project #joyceyear #suitup #suitup👔⌚👞 #groundhogdaychallenge #jamesjoyce #jamesjoyceyear #groundhogday2022 #groundhogday (at West Bengal, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZdicRPIjfa/?utm_medium=tumblr

Whatever you take off the shelf to read today, make sure it's Ulysses or I mean Ulisses. This great shelfie from @brunotuatha in Brazil shows his collection of Ulysses in Portuguese and in English and Bruno is the only Brazilian who has ever greeted me a "A Chara". What a friendly thing to say Happy Groundhog Day everyone #ulises100 #ulises #ulises100anos #ulysses100 #ulyssescentenary #joyceyear #groundhogday #groundhogdaychallenge #irishliteratureandculture #irishculture🇮🇪🍀 (at Brazil) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZdhAviI0At/?utm_medium=tumblr

IF YOU WANT TO GET AHEAD, GET A HAT And if you want to get a hat for Groundhog Day 2022 then you should have contacted John Shelvin who has been making hats in Dublin for decades. Still time for Bloomsday but John is usually very busy that day as he resembles James Joyce when he puts on his hat. Hope everyone has a great day, hats off to those who look the part reading Joyce today. #jamesjoyce #jamesjoyceyear #joycecentenary #groundhogdaychallenge #ulyssescentenary #doubleganger #doublegänger #ulysses100 #doublegängers #doublegangers #hatsoff #hatsofftoyou https://www.instagram.com/p/CZderqkoh5H/?utm_medium=tumblr

Banned Books Does it help to ban books? I think it only helps to promote them. Agatha Christie was banned from reading at a young age. Maybe that motivated her, maybe more parents should do the same, maybe we should all buy a copy of Maus unless mouse nudity upsets you of course. Does it? Happy Groundhog Day everyone, I've finally made it to the last chapter of my first banned book Ulysses. #maus #ulysses100 #groundhogdaychallenge #bannedbooks #booksandhistory #jamesjoyce #thegroundhogdaychallenge #ulyssesproject #ulysses100project #ulyssescentenary #joyce #artspiegelman #artmaus #holocaust #mausbanned #mausbannedbook (at Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZdaUlzoDia/?utm_medium=tumblr

FOOD FOR NOUGHT I tried finishing by midnight and thought some snacks would help. I went through the packet in 30 minutes but only got reading a few pages. Talk about a snack in the mouth. #nearlythere #finishline #deadlineapproaching #groundhogdaychallenge #groundhogday2022 #groundhogday #thegroundhogdaychallenge #ulyssescentenary2022 #ulyssescentenary #snackinthemouth #smackinthemouth🔥😛 https://www.instagram.com/p/CZc-Br8IQKT/?utm_medium=tumblr
