I will be tweeting the entirety of Ulysses by James Joyce, whenever I’m at a computer, or at least as long as I’m legally able (not sure whether copyright laws apply)

So far I’ve only been appropriating images for my work…but now I’m appropriating stream of consciousness literature…

Barely anyone reads this book, its difficult  and demands so much from its readers…and we as a society need everything now, we need things to be fast and short…so with the 140 characters i’m allotted on twitter i’ll give you Ulysses, slowly, and at a pace you can read (over the next 30 years, or as long as twitter exists)…and if I die before I finish, tough shit…read a book
