I just picked up Joyce's Ulysses; I'd read about 200 pages in college and couldn't find enough time to persist, what with assignments and a heavy reading list. I also feel like I'm slightly better equipped to read this now, especially since I've developed strategies to deal with dense, difficult-to-comprehend sections. Other than that, I've ordered Martha Nussbaum's
Justice for Animals: Our Collective Responsibility. Really looking forward to this one, especially to read her arguments for animals' participation in political community. As the planet's
keystone specie, we really cannot avoid including non-human animals in our discussions of justice.
