Happy Bloomsday.
Chris Brooke says that Ulysses is the book that has given and will continue to give him the most reading pleasure.
This is probably true for me as well; however, I still haven’t managed to finish it (I reached page 500 a couple of years ago, but then I got a job). One of the mitigating factors for me in (any of: going to prison / a slow boat to China / a house with no Internet access) would be the ability to do so…
I need a life <on e-bay perhaps>:
Ulysses, Ulysses – Soaring through all the galaxies,
In search of Earth, flying in to the night.
Ulysses, Ulysses – Fighting evil and tyranny,
With all his power, and with all of his might.
Ulysses – no-one else can do the things you do.
Ulysses – like a bolt of thunder from the blue.
Ulysses – always fighting off the evil forces bringing peace and justice to all.
It’s me Nono small robot you know – friend of Uly-sses.
It’s me Nono small robot you know – friend of Uly-sses.
Ulysses, Ulysses – could not find his destiny,
Leaving earth, such a long time ago.
Ulysses – like a mighty warrior in the sky.
Ulysses – with his small companions by his side.
Ulysses – Unlike a king he’s not protected by the Gods of every form in his way.
It’s me Nono small robot you know – friend of Uly-sses.
It’s me Nono small robot you know – friend of Uly-sses.
Ulysses – no-one else can do the things you do.
Ulysses – like a bolt of thunder from the blue.
Ulysses – always fighting off the evil forces bringing peace and justice to all.
It’s me Nono small robot you know – friend of Uly-sses.
It’s me Nono small robot you know – friend of Uly-sses.
It’s me Nono small robot you know – friend of Uly-sses.
It’s me Nono small robot you know – friend of Uly-sses.
thank you for that lyric ;)
