"It is entirely permissible and even sensible to skip some bits of #Ulysses. In a way, that is its wonder." @francescabeauma, from the upcoming #TheLiteraryAlmanac, marks the release of a restored edition of Joyce's masterpiece @riverrunbooks @QuercusBooks https://t.co/9Xvmb20gru

Every book has been selected to chime with a specific month; crucially too, every book featured is one that I genuinely love and adore with a passion and am confident that you will, too. (3/4)
