Have You Really Read James Joyce's "Ulysses"?

Be honest.

June 16 is one of the nerdiest days for book lovers across the world.

It's Bloomsday!

Set on the day portrayed in James Joyce's classic novel Ulysses, book lovers everywhere commemorate the central character Leopold Bloom.

But you didn't need us to tell you that. After all, you've read all 600-plus pages, right?

You wouldn't just enjoy a pint of Guinness and a plate of fried liver slices without understanding the full significance to Bloom, right?
