I’m late to it but this @danigaravelli.bsky.social piece on prison suicides in Scotland is truly an eye-opener. Absolutely extraordinary that state-run prisons in the UK have Crown immunity.

103 years ago Sylvia Beach published #Ulysses on James Joyce’s 40th birthday. 3 years ago, we launched a podcast to help you read this life-altering book…with a little help from our friends. Begin today, finish by Bloomsday. Who wants to give it (another) go? 🎧 podfollow.com/sandcoulysses

It's 6 January, and it's snowing in Ireland, and to my surprise the Joyce quotes are not general all over my social media feeds - as would have been the case, not that long ago, with eye-rolling but reassuring consistency.

Two little additions from the charity shop this week, both look interesting, have read neither of them. Has anyone here read them?

A recent trip to Edinburgh and some inevitable bookshop browsing, a small yet unmistakably @backlisted.bsky.social infused stack. Will be laid down for a few weeks and served in 2024. Cheers 🍷

A recent re-read, Franny and Zooey. A short but not necessarily quick read, I found it rewards a bit of time spent with it. Not sure I found this, or appreciated this, when I first read it.

Finished this today, quite a read, and best to know absolutely nothing about it. I remember the @backlisted.bsky.social episode on A Lonely Place, and being directed towards this one too. I’ve kept an eye on it since then to ensure I forgot all about it! and now tore through it. Brilliant.
