Do your part to fight the war on protein.

You know what?

Forgive me if this is pretentious, but it is.

I joined a book club to read the book Ulysses by James Joyce.

There's a wonderful theater company called the Elevator Repair Service, which is doing a big run of...

Ulysses at Joe's Pub here in New York.

You should see them.

They're a wonderful theater company.

But in addition to putting that show up, they offered up a book club to actually read this notoriously difficult text, which I've attempted multiple times, failed horribly.

And for the last month and a half, I've been at a book club trying to work my way through this book.

And it's been infuriating, impossible at times, incredible at times.

It feels like when I was in middle school and we didn't have Showtime or Cinemax, but you'd go to the channel that had Cinemax and it was just all the squiggles.

And then every so often the squiggles would unsquiggle and you'd see a nipple.

That's what reading Ulysses is like.

I'm just like, I have no idea what this is about.

I have no idea about it.

Oh, it's about Dublin.

It's about Dublin.

I see it.

I see it.
