Conversation I had some years ago with a kindred spirit, an old college

buddy in England named Peter Nalder.

JD: “People say ‘Ulysses’ is a great book.”

PN: “Possibly so, I really can’t say. Never could get into it.”

JD: “It took him seven years to write, you know.”

PN: “I think it would take me longer than that to read it!”
