Looks like Lourdes Leon is following in her mami's footsteps and will appear in Madonna's newest music video.
This will be the first time that the 12-year-old hipster fashionista will be sharing the silver screen with her mom, who has kept a notoriously tight reign over her children's private lives. Although rumors have been swirling for months about little Lourdes's desire to break into the entertainment biz, it seemed, up until now, that Madonna was hesitant to allow her daughter to go down that path.

Oh, snap! Madonna dealt a blow to Alex Rodriguez's heart right on his home turf yesterday, taking Brazilian model Jesus Luz on a swinging tour of New York City. Though Madge and A-Rod have yet to be photographed together, lucky paparazzi caught the pop star and her 22-year-old pal, whom she met while during a photo shoot in Rio de Janeiro, enjoying lunch together Macelleria restaurant in La Gran Manzana on Sunday afternoon.

Watch out, world! Madonna's first born hija, Lourdes Leon, has officially taken her first step towards inevitable stardom by enrolling at the Children's Professional School in Manhattan. The 14-year-old is reportedly "desperate" to follow in the footsteps of NYC-bred thesps like Sarah Jessica Parker and Scarlett Johannson and develop her acting chops--ones that will hopefully eclipse her mother's someday!

We knew Carlos Leon had it in him! After holding his tongue for what felt like decades, the Madonna's original baby daddy finally shared his thoughts with HELLO! Magazine about his former flame and her divorce from Guy Ritchie. At first, he plays the diplomat:
"It is a bad situation for both Guy and Madonna and I send them a lot of love and all the children involved. I think it is too early to say if the divorce will make things better or worse for the family."

At the insistence of her soon-to-be ex-husband, Guy Ritchie, Madonna has caved in and will spend the Christmas holiday in London with Guy and their three children, Lourdes, Rocco and David. But...what will A-Rod do without his "f*king soulmate"?

Lourdes Leon, 12, strolled the streets of Buenos Aires on Tuesday looking like a cute extra from one of her mother's earliest music videos. The tween trendsetter rocked acid wash jeans, a black fishnet top and yellow plastic Ray Ban Wayfarers while touring the South American city with brothers Rocco and David and her mother, Madonna, who is in town for her "Sticky and Sweet" tour.

We love us the back-stabbing, nail-biting drama of the CW's hit soap Gossip Girl,
but we couldn't help but notice that the characters on the screen were
a bit too vanilla for our taste. So we decided to shake things up on the
Upper East Side by recasting the show with all Latino actors. Hey, we
have color TVs for a reason, right?

Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon seems to be a certified daddy's girl. The 11-year-old's father, personal trailer Carlos Leon, talks to People about his close relationship with his daughter.
"She's at that point where she can call me and say, 'Hey Dad, what's up? What time are you going to get me?' " he says of his daughter. "It's really cool. We talk every day."

Lourdes Leon is daughter to Madonna, quite possibly biggest star ever, and yet she's already starting to upend her mami in the fashion department. At just 12 years old, Lola's developed quite the ecclectic style, defined by everything from European chic to rocker-chick edge and bold accessories. Of course, there's also her diehard obsession with Converse sneakers, which are as much a sign of effortless style now as they were decades ago.

Gentleman my a*ss,how can Cotto talk about being a gentleman?Has he forgotten what he did to Judah,all the low blows and what he did to Clottey.It's always easy talking about other people when you have issues yourself.

It's one thing in the HEAT of battle/exchanges to lose your cool like Ortiz did with the headbutt... it is another to calmly PLOT to shake your opponents hand and then sucker punch him. THAT was some serious bullshet and Mayweather is a btch for going out like that. He had TIME to reconsider and he still went ahead like the savage that he is... Impulse crack-baby genetics.
Sit your ass down and stop spreading rumors and fiction.
Remember... any fighter in the midst of exchanges can slip up and to something foul... Floyd calmly walked up to Ortiz and SUCKERPUNCHED him. BIG difference. NO character... no class.

Very true and to add to that I got mad love for Cotto but Floyd would totally destroy him and always would which is why the fight never happened. At this point I would be afraid for Cotto against Ortiz or Berto and Im a little nervous about the Margarito fight cause the bricks had nothing to do with the amount of times Margarito was able to hit Cotto. They helped but Cotto got hit way too much in that fight.

When the politics or the visuals seem a little dicey, President Obama is showing no hesitation in dispatching Vice President Joseph R. Biden or Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. to speak to groups he would rather not address himself.
Last week, Mr. Obama sent Mr. Biden to speak to the National Education Association's 7,000-plus delegates, disappointing one of the country's largest unions and the earliest labor group to endorse him last year.
Despite a full-color photo of Mr. Obama in the NAACP program for this year's national convention touting him as a speaker, it is Mr. Biden who plans to travel to Houston for the annual gathering this week.
Republican Mitt Romney will speak to the civil rights group Wednesday, but the first black president isn't attending.
Mr. Obama's decision to skip the annual gatherings of some key constituencies during the critical months of a difficult re-election campaign could be a risky political move, especially considering that his ability to knit together a patchwork of advocacy groups was crucial to his 2008 victory.
But, as the president has found, it's not easy to be all things to all people or all groups.
Uneasy allies
Despite the early NEA endorsement, the president and the teachers union have not always seen eye to eye.
For the past two years, Mr. Obama has spoken favorably of performance-based pay for teachers, as well as the Race to the Top program, both of which the union eschews. But he also has helped wrestle massive stimulus programs through Congress, and a great majority of the $100 billion in education stimulus funds went to support teachers' jobs and programs such as Title I grants for underprivileged communities and students.
The convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will focus on some of the group's main concerns, including economic opportunity and voter-suppression efforts that the organization feels are aimed at blacks. Even though NAACP leaders are disappointed by Mr. Obama's decision not to attend, they are putting ona good face.
"We are honored to welcome Vice President Joe Biden to our convention," NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Todd Jealous said in a statement. "This is an important election year and communities of color will play a huge role in deciding the outcome in any number of races across the country. As such, we are pleased that both major political parties will be represented at this year's convention."
NAACP less relevant?
Mr. Obama's absence from the six-day meeting in Houston is particularly conspicuous in a year in which his success in key battleground states such as Virginia (where Mr. Obama will be campaigning the two days after the NAACP convention closes), North Carolina and Ohio relies on his ability to re-create the same level of support in the black community as he did in 2008.
That year, Mr. Obama and his Republican presidential rival, Sen. John McCain of Arizona, both spoke to the NAACP. Mr. Obama addressed the convention again in 2009, and first lady Michelle Obama gave remarks in 2010.
The rationale behind Mr. Obama's decision to skip the convention this year isn't clear. His campaign did not respond to an inquiry about his absence or his decision to send Mr. Biden.

Good location.
It is big surprise that they told me that it is not hotel and they only offer each room one roll of tissue paper and you will need to buy. $--- per day room can not afford to give customer roll of toilet paper? I am very surprised. It is not good enough
Many amenities, slightly outdated decor but great set up. Nice bar/counter spacious bathroom area. Full fridge and more appliances than I have at home. The patio was a great feature.
Bed was not bad but not new by any means, tv was very outdated.
The location was lovely, pool was great. front desk and waits staff were excellent.Food and coffee were wonderful.
Good location and staff was very accommodating.
We loved the view, facilities, great beds and location of the hotel.
No complaints.
I like the avalibiliy of the staff
For a younger crowd in there 25-30 age it's not an appeasing hotel it's more for older crowd like 50-60 so for me being a pro Olympic athlete and being 23 yrs old I didn't enjoy it that much
the location
room service food. the french soup was disgusting. There was also no glasses in the room.
time it took to get the food
valet parking took 15 mins to get our car
Staff was great
The staff were friendly. The hotel is only about a mile from the beach, so it's easy to get there. Lots of restaurants in the area.
The room arrangement was inconvenient - if the door to the bathroom was open, you couldn't get to the sink. There was no guide for the able TV.
Staff is very polite and cooperative. You fill at home. Location is excellent for the price. They serve decent breakfast.
Easy check in.
Limited parking and very tight spaces.Asked if i could have a late check out at 12:00 was told there would be an extra charge for that. Really... wow

Hitler Finds Out About the C7 Corvette
It's a meme that's been done before, but with all the interest in the next generation Corvette, enthusiasts will get a kick out of Hitler's reaction to the 2014 Corvette. Porsche fans, not so much. In this version of the Downfall meme, the Fuhrer finds out the Americans have built a new Corvette – and

Detroit News: 2014 C7 Corvette Will Hog the Spotlight at Detroit Auto Show

Their outlooks are grim, cautious at best. But the slew of companies reporting on Thursday still managed to surprise markets on the upside and big swings for big names such as BT and Rolls-Royce pushed the FTSE 100 to within a whisker of its highest close this year
The FTSE 100 crept higher for an 11th straight session on Monday putting it on course to set a new record winning streak - albeit in thin trading and in defiance of falls elsewhere around the world and a gloomy economic backdrop
Results from Ryanair, Pearson and Wolseley set the tone on a day when London shares could extend their winning run into an 11th day
Yell, the heavily endebted directories business, lost nearly 15% of its value after it said it was renegotiating its £4bn debt, just eight months after a change in the terms of its covenants
Hedge fund manager Man Group is biggest faller as FTSE ends slightly lower
Shares in plumbers and builders merchant Wolseley plunge
Inmarsat, the satellite communications business, has soared to the top of the FTSE 100 leaderboard ahead of its results due this week, as the market continued its post-Bank Holiday mood of optimism
Insurer Aviva is planning to return a chunk of its surplus capital to policyholders, giving most of its customers payments of between £200 and £1,150
Apart from a spate of good corporate news, the market is being lifted by a revival in the banking and mining sectors after yesterday's falls
GlaxoSmithKline is in focus this morning after it raised $256m by selling some of its shares in a US diagnostics group. Separately, it is said to be possibly on the acquisition trail in America
Today sees the latest quarterly ins and outs for the FTSE indices - changes are based on tonight's closing prices but will be officially confirmed tomorrow - and one potential FTSE 100 entrant has been given a late boost
Telecoms group BT has fallen sharply on fears it might need to pump up to £750m a year into its pension fund because of a rising deficit, and could also cut its dividend. This - along with another sell-off in the insurance sector - helped pull the market back from its best levels, despite a revival among mining shares
A spate of disappointing company results and continuing concerns about the effectiveness of the US bank bail out plan have pushed leading shares lower once more
Building materials group Wolseley has had a rough time in the past few months, with worries about its exposure to the troubled UK and the US construction markets, along with concerns about a possible cash call
It has been a bad week for building materials group Wolseley, but it seems to be ending on a brighter note
Building materials group Wolseley was the day's leading faller in the FTSE 100, as analysts predicted the company needed a rights issue of around £750m after yesterday's news that its debt had climbed to £3bn
Water companies are among the biggest fallers of the day so far, helping keep leading shares in negative territory despite an opening rise on Wall Street
The $68bn bid by US drug maker Pfizer for rival Wyeth has put the spotlight on the prospect of more major mergers in the pharmaceutical sector
Barclays continues to bounce back from recent lows, giving another lift to the whole banking sector
Financial shares have helped the market record its biggest one-day rise since early December, despite poor trading news from a number of major companies
Banks, unsurprisingly, dominated the day's trading session, with the government's proposed bail out and a record corporate loss of around £28bn from Royal Bank of Scotland receiving a resounding thumbs down from investors
Some of the initial euphoria following the government's new banking bail out plan seems to have evaporated
Leading shares have broken this week's winning streak, ending slightly lower but off their worst levels.
After spending much of the day sharply in the red, the FTSE 100 closed down just 18.56 points at 4152.69.
Housebuilder Taylor Wimpey has slumped 37% - 2.6p - to a new low of 4.4p on growing worries about the renegotiation of its £1.9bn debt at a time when the UK property market faces continued uncertainty

And in the two Saheeh [authentic collections of prophetic narrations] from Usaamah bin Zayd from the Prophet r that he said: "A man will be brought forward on the Day of Resurrection and thrown in the hellfire. The insides of his stomach will be hanging out. He will circle around the hellfire the same way that a donkey circles around the grain grinder. The people of the hellfire will gather around him and say, "What has happened to you O such and such person? Did you not used to enjoin the good and forbid the evil?" And he will say to them, "Certainly but I used to command you to enjoin the good but not do it myself and I would forbid the evil amongst you and fall into it myself."

Isola di Ponza Things to Do
sunset at Chiaia di Luna
If you are in Ponza Porto in the evening, go to see the Sunset at Chiaia di Luna, it's fantastic.To go there, just walk to the tunnel under the mountain and you'll be there in few minutes. Bring with you a light-source, the tunnel is very dark, you'll need it to go back after the sunset.There is a small bar on the beach, have there an aperitive or...more
The first beach you should go to -...
Chiaia di Luna is the large beach that is located in a little bay formed by a beautiful cliff. It is on the opposite side of the island from the city of Ponza and can be reached by walking through the very old, dark Roman tunnel. You can also follow the road up to the top of the cliff for a wonderful view of the beach. Maybe some day I'll load a...more
Cala Feola
The natural pools of Cala Feola on the west coast of the island of Ponza. They used to be old roman pools for breeding fishes.more
The "Cathedral" of Palmarola
Palmarola is called the Pearl of Mediterranean Sea... and if you visit it... you can see this is not an exaggeration. The island is still quite wild, and just 30 minutes by boat from Ponza.Best Period to visit is June and September... when not too many tourists fill its crystal waters with any kind of boats.The "Cathedral" is a cliff coast made by...more
Pilato's caves
One of the most interesting Roman age works left on the island are these caves, used maybe as fish-growing pools. They are only reachable by boat.more
the Roman tunnel
Built 500 years before Christ, the tunnel is 500 mt. long and it leads from Ponza village to Chiaia di Luna, on the other side of the island.more

Isola di Ponza Restaurants
Not quite sure of the name: Best Crepes in Italy
In the main strip of Ponza, along the port boardwalk, are a number of restaurants and food vendors. I'm not sure of the name, but one is a sort of window that you walk up to and order a crepe. They make it right in front of you and you can have any number of fillings put in it (my favorite was chocolate and strawberries, but they had many more choices). So if you see a place to buy crepes when you're walking around at night, don't hesitate to get one!
Isola di Ponza Nightlife
not really night-time, pre-dinner I'd...
During summertime (usually July and August) at Frontone, a beach not far from the port, disco dancing and aperitives take place from before sunset to dinnertime. Come as you are style,(swimsuit and tshirt are well accepted) music and cocktails won't stop until dinner time. If you are young and are in Ponza, need to go there.
Dress Code: no requirements but to be someway dressed, usually bathsuit and t-shirt or sportswear
Isola di Ponza Transportation
Sailing is the best way
If you can sail and are with some friends, sailing is the most exciting way to spend some days or more in Ponza. If you can't sail, most charter companies have professional skippers for rent. Look for their addresses in the nearest cities and towns on the coast (Formia, Gaeta, Terracina, S. Felice Circeo, Nettuno, ...).Sailing in Ponza is not...more
How to get there
The only way to arrive here is by boat (or helicopter if you have one !!)...From Anzio (40 km south of Rome):ferry (June to Sept.) 10 euros - 3 hours.hydrofoil (aliscafo) - 70 minutesFrom Terracina (100 km south of Rome):ferry - 10 euros - 2:30 hoursFrom Formia (140 km south of Rome):hydrofoil (aliscafo) - 20 euros - 75 minutesmore
Isola di Ponza What to Pack
The usual beach stuff
Luggage and bags: A back pack is probably best so you can bring your stuff to the beach.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: A swimsuit or two, sandals, beach cover up, a pair of pants/skirt and a suitable shirt for nighttime dinner and walking around. Assuming you are there in the summer, you really shouldn't need to bring too much stuff. Maybe a light sweatshirt if you are the type that gets cold when it's 65 degrees (F) outside.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: you can buy sunblock when you get there, or bring your own. Mosquito repellant might be a good idea too. Maybe some aloe vera gel for sunburns and some chapstick.
Miscellaneous: A towel
Isola di Ponza Off The Beaten Path
The island is not that big - rent a...
Ponza was a great place to rent a scooter and putt around all day. We rented a little on-and-off-road scooter for a few hours. The island doesn't have many cars, it's small, all roads pretty much lead to the same places and the weather was nice, making it the perfect place to rent a scooter. We rode around the island about 4 times, making frequent stops to take in the views. It was also a good way to see the other city on the island, which did not seem as popular with the tourists as the city of Ponza. One warning: put on the sunblock or you will have a very bad farmer's tan when you are done joyriding!
Isola di Ponza Favorites
Beware the mosquitos
This was definitely NOT my most favorite thing about Ponza: One night, we slept with the windows open because it was rather warm. That was a big mistake. We woke up around 2 AM from the awful buzzing noise and found we had been eaten alive by mosquitos. We turned on the lights and realized there were a ton of mosquitos in the room feasting on us!...more

I'm working on a story about shark fishing in the Gulf of Mexico with our old friend, Captain Mike, and I've made the trip into one last family vacation before school starts. I'm sending pictures for you to enjoy of my grandson, Jack, catching a shark from the pier, and a big one he landed with the help of Captain Mike. Right now, the kids are over at Schlitterbahn Water Park. It's great family fun. Their website is: schlitterbahn.com Here Fishie Fishie... By Luke Clayton • Mar 28, 2013 Listen Listening... / 6:39 There are few fishing trips more exciting than shark fishing. My friend, Captain Mike Williams of Galveston, Texas, told me it was like standing on a corner, a Harley comes by going about 80 mph- downtown with both barrels, and you throw a hook out to snag it. That described it exactly right. It's a heck of a fight.

Say what you will about ESPN. They're too mainstream. They steal people's stuff without giving credit. They protect certain sports figures. Whether you agree with the complaints or not, you have probably heard them all. But don't you dare try to say the most recent "This is SportsCenter" commercial that the World Wide Leader released isn't solid gold.
Since he is almost always shown from a straight-on angle, very few people realize that John Clayton has a mullet/ponytail of sorts hanging from the back of his head. The man they call "The Professor" has a hairstyle that has been a running joke among the blogosphere for quite some time now, and ESPN finally decided to get in on the fun. Thank goodness for that. Anything less than a round of applause for John Clayton the headbanger would be a drastic injustice.

Release Date:
June 1, 2013
When Sofia becomes Sofia the First, a princess of Enchancia, she must adapt to an extraordinary life of royalty and learn how to be a princess - inside and out! Her lessons and adventures take place in many grand settings, one of which is the enchanting royal castle that she now calls home! The two-story play set not only offers traditional play opportunities but also adds fun interactivity to really bring the kingdom of Enchancia to life! When girls place Sofia or Clover the Rabbit on the castle's special base, they can hear 10+ phrases "magically" said in each character's voice! But that's just the beginning: bring in other 3-inch dolls and figures from the line (sold separately) to unlock more than 35 additional phrases or musical sounds! Enter through the ornate purple doors that swing open and closed. Lounge on the chair in the living area or enjoy dining and dancing in the ballroom. Send Sofia up and down by clipping her to the banister of the staircase. Upstairs, Sofia can get her beauty rest or host a slumber party in the grand princess bedroom, or she can play hide-and-seek with Clover the Rabbit in his cozy window seat. Sofia can gaze out upon Enchancia and the castle gardens while standing on her balcony or enjoy a day of outdoor fun in the garden - just extend the castle's bottom level to reveal a grassy picnic area! Girls will love reenacting favorite scenes or imagining new adventures and lessons for the adorable princess-in-training. Ages 3 and older.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read Ulysses for fun? Are you mad? Er, well no actually,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ulysses (Twentieth Century Classics) (Paperback)
Nearly everybody knows about Joyce's extravagant depiction of one day in early 20th century Dublin, and almost nobody has actually read it (unless forced to do so at school).
The length of the book, the legendary "difficulty" of the English, even the lack of punctuation, all serve to make most potential readers queasy. This perception is enhanced by the enormous volume of secondary writing on the book and Joyce himself. Everything about the text seems to be a license for academics to be pretentious and superiour. Read Ulysses for pleasure? Are you mad? Have you been down the pub with Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus?
As far as I am aware, I am neither mad nor drunk, but I do recommend holding one's literary breath and plunging into this masterpiece.
This book is truly an extraordinary novel. Joyce is a master at depicting and analysing mankind. His ability to describe human emotions on both a concious and sub-concious level is amazing. I am not saying it is easy. To be honest, there are large parts of the book that even after re-reading are way over my head, but too many believe that the book is beyond them. One should not focus on the bad, but the good, and the overall effect of the novel is nothing short of awesome.
So go on, ignore the stigma and the prejudice.
Read Ulysses, for fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique, incredible, momentous...and difficult,
Depressaholic (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ulysses (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
So much has been written about this book in the past eighty years that its reputation alone is enough to dissuade some readers. I think that the reviews printed here reflect the balance of opinion about it, both why it is so revered and why some describe it as being unreadable. For what it is worth, 'Ulysses' is, for me, one of the most sublime monuments in world literature, a book unlike any other, and one that deserves a place among the very small number of classics that should be enjoyed for centuries to come. However, I do understand those that have struggled and failed with it.
Firstly, to like this book is not 'pretentious'. It is perhaps my pretension that made me read it and want to understand it to begin with, but certainly not my pretension that made me enjoy it. These are not to be confused. Secondly, it is 'difficult'. If someone tells you otherwise, I would like to know what they are comparing it to. Joyce's language is convoluted and obscure, and often important events are referred to so obliquely that they bypassed me if my attention was wandering. I have read the book twice and realised that I missed much the first time round. However, the rewards for sticking with it are huge. Thirdly, don't let the scholarly dissection of the book put you off. There are a lot of themes underpinning the book, not least the explicit parallels with the 'Odyssey' and the slightly more implicit theme of the relationships between fathers and sons (paralleled by a reference to Hamlet that runs through the book). However, it would be wrong to view 'Ulysses' as some sort of puzzle to be solved. It is, very simply, a book about a man (Bloom/Daedalus/Joyce) and about Ireland in 1904. For all its scholarly overtones it is about a day in the life of an everyman. He isn't a hero, he doesn't save the world or fight the bad guy and, paradoxically, this should make it more, not less, accessible to most readers. If you are able to overcome the complex structure (which becomes one of the book's joys, honest) and lack of plot then the odyssey through a single day and a single language, and a single city becomes the most incredible journey in literature. I have read it twice, and both times I was unable to out the book out of my head for several days after I had out it down. It felt more like having an important life moment than simply reading a book. I read a lot, but only a couple of books make me feel this way, and this is one. If this (admittedly pretentious sounding) review doesn't put you off, then please make the effort to read this book. It really is worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cursed it. Loved it.,
Eric Cornel (Tilburg, The Netherlands) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Ulysses (Everyman's Library Classics) (Hardcover)
Reading Ulysses is an experience, an odyssey if you like.
It is the heroic tale stripped bare from any misguiding suggestion of glory. In Ulysses life is not glorious, it's trivial. Should there be anything close to heroism, look for it in the muddy context of ordinarity. For heroic deeds emerge from everyday life.
Like Nietzsche dismantled the existence of a living God, and encourages us to confront the seeming horror of His death in order to set ourselves free, Joyce in Ulysses fillets our delusional hope for The Exceptional. Whether struggling with Olympians, searching for a Holy Grail or just out on the town for the length of one day, we all think our silly, disturbing, unrelated thoughts. We can be generous, compassionate, involved and inspired. And we know violence, prejudice, narcissism, envy and a whole range of petty egotistical and shortminded sensations from within; we all need to relieve ourselves in more than one way and we all just go on with whatever it is we were doing once we were finished. Joyce is the first to wonder why all the trivialities were left out from the stories of old. How can anyone ever really relate to a hero lacking the most primal human idiosyncracies, let alone live up to his standards?
I noticed that a lot of people who've read it encourage us to read Ulysses as a sort of literary comedy. I disagree with that. Yes, it can be quirky, it has wit, irony and sarcasm, funny, creative wordplay and it is not hard to find something to smile about on every page if that's what you're looking for (just looking at yourself struggling to make sense of it all should crack you up), but in it's core this is a profound book about compassion and love for mankind. With all its flaws. If that's too raw for you, if you are not prepared to let go of the Heroic Dream that our tradition has carefully been constructing ever since the tale of Gilgamesh up to his modern day equivalents, the idols of popular culture, than Ulysses can't be anything but obscene.
With that regard I see a straight line from James Joyce to the rogue story tellers of our time. These days (anti-)heroes are perpetually encountering the trivialities of life, be it Woody Allens constant neurotic babble and a (poorly masked) libido or the insignificant fascinations of Quentin Tarantino's tough guys that live in front of a backdrop of branding and advertising.
I'm not going to say this is my favourite book. There were times that I've cursed it. But I did love living in it. Sometimes it was torture, and I felt so lost. But: to read Ulysses is to study Ulysses. I combined reading the Everyman's edition with a dutch translation and also kept the internet at hand. I had to take heed not to get lost in the labyrinth of annotations and hold course. But I also wanted to make sure not to miss out on too much of the subtext. Navigating between Scylla and Charibdis indeed! Exploring footnotes and episode reviews enhanced my experience and helped me to catch my breath when necessary. Reading Ulysses is really like being out on your own, caught in a literary variation of Odysseus travels. Like your fellow exile, you will find yourself seriously considering to give in or give up, telling yourself you're probably too stupid to pull this off or coming up with a thousand better reasons to spend your precious time. These are the temptations you're dealing with on the quest you've embarked on: sirens calling out to you from every corner to keep you from finding your way home and bringing in your ship. But when in doubt, always remember: if a two-dimensional hero can do it, why not you? And lo, there is joy, waiting at the close!
To Leopold Bloom, to Molly and Stephen and to early 20th century Dublin: I'll be missing you terribly...

2.0 out of 5 stars No Notes?!,
William Shardlow (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Ulysses (Wordsworth Classics) (Paperback)
I recently read Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Wordsworth Classics)and was very impressed with the notes. I found they gave just enough information to help me understand the text, but not enough to interrupt the flow of reading. I can't imagine a better version for the everyday reader. I have had similar experiences with many other novels that Wordsworth publish.
Ulysses is probably more in need of notes than any other novel, so I thought, "Wordsworth are bound to have their usual nice notes...", when I ordered it. Imagine my disappointment when I found they provided no notes at all! I'd held off buying another version with notes until this was published because I like the Wordsworth price & font. But, for Ulysses, notes are by far the most essential attribute!
I will now have to buy either Ulysses: The 1922 text (Oxford World's Classics) or Ulysses (Penguin Modern Classics). These are the only versions I know of that have notes. They also have 'look inside' enabled. I recommend that anyone start reading at page 1 in 'look inside' and see which one has the most helpful notes for them. Try and see them in a bookshop or library if you can, so you can judge their physical layout -- Oxford use a small print size, which I can just about manage, but it's definitely a negative.
The average reader (i.e., readers like me!) will need to access the notes several times before page 2, so it should soon become obvious which is most helpful version for you... if you are average...
Update: Do you know what ouns (mentioned on page 1) are? Neither do I. Penguin's supposedly annotated edition doesn't bother to tell you, Oxford does. And it's a lot less expensive! I think my buying decision is made... see my (upcoming!) review of the Oxford edition to see if it holds up to more detailed scrutiny.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yes, it's difficult, but not impossible,
This review is from: Ulysses (Wordsworth Classics) (Paperback)
I put off reading this book for so long - years. Then, I heard that it was going to be dramatised for BBC radio 4 for Bloomsday 2012. So I thought I better get reading. It took me two months to get through it, but I'm really glad I did. I found that I had to change the way I normally read a book, but I found that challenging in an interesting way. If I let my mind slip in and out of focus, the prose would pull me along - a bit like how you would listen to music. Because Ulysses really is a literary symphony. It is everything that has been said before and well worth the effort. I listened to the dramatisation afterwards and was really pleased that I had read the book first.
It is a real doorstopper of a book. One of the actors in the dramatisation, Andrew Scott, said don't be put off by how long it is, it is about what it is to be human. And that is pretty accurate, I think.
I didn't read it with any 'reader' accompaniment (just because I didn't want to) and I didn't read it with the Odyssey in mind (just because I read the Odyssey so long ago and it isn't fresh in my mind).
However, if you don't like long and difficult reads, this book is very much not for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A momentous edition,
Richard Cowdell "music lover" (Birmingham UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ulysses (Alma Classics) (Hardcover)
I have been reading Ulysses now for the best part of 40 years and have a number of editions on my bookshelf from the two volume Odyssey Press edition (2nd edition 1933) to this one. I have no doubt that this is the edition to have whether reading it for the 1st or 40th time. The annotations are superb; Sam Slote, at last, picks up on the apparent errors regarding the death of Mrs Sinico and the bee sting but oddly misses the error regarding the colours of Miss Douce's and Miss Kennedy's hair in Wandering Rocks. On p.180 we read "Bronze by gold, Miss Kennedy's head by Miss Douce's head, appeared above the cross blind of the Ormond Hotel". It is however Miss Douce who is bronze (Bronze Lydia (Douce)) and Miss Kennedy (Gold Mina) who is gold. Oddly the note refers the reader to the note on p.188/1 where the hair colours are correct but no comment is made. Does anyone know what Joyce's manuscript says at the point in W.R.? That said the annotations are nothing short of excellent and add a new dimension to the reading of the novel. However many editions you may own this is essential and the one to have and read/reread. It sets a new level in scholarly commentary on the novel.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a Classic,
This review is from: Ulysses (Illustrated Edition) (Kindle Edition)
I have been through a few Kindle versions of Ulysees now but have given up on each after a chapter or so due to poor formatting or missing/jumbled text. I was about to give up on counting it in my library until I saw this version and for the sake of a quid - thought I'd give it a try. And I'm pleased I did. It is presented perfectly and if you are going to attempt this goliath of a book on your Kindle then you'd be hard-pushed to find a more readable version. It comes with some decent original photos too - but more importantly, it is true to the print version and set out as it should be for Kindle - with menus that actually work and page breaks where they should be. Everyone should at least try to read Ulysees in their lifetime - give it a go!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best edition yet,
This review is from: Finnegans Wake (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
Joyce's last great work is a 628 page book of comic prose, written in a language that shares some elements with English as we know it, but relies heavily on multilingual puns and other effects that make it seem at first wholly impenetrable. The clues are there, however, and since the book's publication in 1939 a dedicated following of Joyce scholars have set out to elucidate its many difficulties.
This edition, in Oxford World's Classics, is the most helpful that I have found so far. Having tried the Faber (small print, no introduction), the Penguin (good introduction by Seamus Deane, brief chapter summaries) and the Restored (baffling introductory and afterword texts, questionable repagination), I've been enjoying Finn Fordham et al's expert handling of the text in this Oxford edition. The chapter summaries are particularly helpful, and no reader will want to be without them. More succinct than Campbell or Tindall, and inevitably less thorough than McHugh's 'Annotations', the Oxford edition is surely the quickest way into this deeply puzzling text.
As Anthony Burgess said about Jeri Johnson's superb edition of 'Ulysses' in its 1922 text (also in the OWC series), "this is the one to get".

4.0 out of 5 stars In two minds...,
A Buyer (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ulysses (Penguin Modern Classics) (Paperback)
I'm in two minds about this book.
On the one hand, this is quite obviously a work of genius at some level, full of beautiful poetry, humour and truth about the human condition, all filled into a day in the life of the two (or three including the last chapter) main narrators.
On the other hand, there are so many allusions to things the average reader will be ignorant of as to render meaningless, which allied to the difficult narrative makes this a highly frustrating read.
In trying to understand parts of the novel that passed me by, I did some literary research and discovered the amazing depth this novel. Each chapter for example (apparantly!) has a theme based on colour and body part, and for this to be successfully woven into a story is a great achievement. The different styles and techniques used to tell the story is also highly impressive, while at the same time adding to the difficulty of the read.
The book is full of riddles and puzzles, some of which the answers to remain elusive to minds greater than mine. And there-in lies the problem; who has the time to spend reading and re-reading a book that is already close to a thousand pages long in order to fully understand it?
I have given this four stars rather than anything lower (and I very nearly did), to acknowledge that many of the problems of this book are down to the ignorance and lack of patience (or intelligence) of the reader, and indeed there are parts that are genuinely enjoyable through being funny, truthful or touched by genius.
However the nagging doubt remains that this book and the praise it has engendered is a partial case of the emperor's new clothes (and indeed the same could be said of modernism as a whole). At the very least, it seems that in being so tremendously ambitious, Joyce fell slightly short, as he himself is known to have admitted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is it worth it?,
J. Skade "joeskade" (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ulysses (Penguin Modern Classics) (Paperback)
This is the most important question for those who have yet to dip their toes in this 'difficult classic' - they may have read 'Dubliners' or 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' but find 'Ulysses' daunting.
Well, yes - it is worth the trouble, and the trouble may be less than you think and the effort more fun than you imagined. This book is very funny and very beautiful.
The book concerns a day in the life of Stephen Dedalus young would be writer and Leopold Bloom middle aged advertising space salesman, with the final chapter being given to the nocturnal thoughts of Bloom's unfaithful wife,Molly. During the day Bloom attends a funeral, faces down a racist bigot, masturbates and saves a drunken Stephen from two British soldiers before taking him home. The books famed mythic parallels, it's symbolism, puzzles, allusions etc are all very well when one has made some headway into the book - and it is a book one goes back to, but the nervous reader is more concerned with its difficulty.
The simple answer is not to get too bogged down when one does not understand something. Skip with impunity. Do not give up stumped at chapter three - we've all been there and it is worth pressing on. The difficulty lies partly with Joyce's 'internal monologue' technique particularly when the thoughts being set down in this abbreviated form are those of the erudite (and pretentious) Stephen - and partly (especially in the second half of the book) with the plethora of styles Joyce uses to mirror the action of the book - parody, pastiche and musical and rhythmic devices. Yet in these styles lie so many of the book's joys - one is again and again stopped in one's tracks by a perfectly shaped sentence ,a piece of intriguing wordplay or a sly shaft of wit.
If you persevere with this book you will find your own reasons for going back to it. This book in a very strange and subtle way, is a lifechanger.
