(Pages 177-210) Steven Dedalus is in the library, discussing the works of Shakespeare - particularly, but not exclusively, Hamlet (yep 30 pages of this). Buck Mulligan arrives and reads out the telegram he has received from Steven, saying he will not join him and Haines at The Ship; Haines isn’t happy as he’s been waiting hours for a drink. Mulligan tells Steven to go with him and as they are leaving, Leopold Bloom passes between them. This is the first time that Bloom and Dedalus (the son) come into direct contact with each other. I wonder if this is significant?

I probably overdid the caffeine and now I’m going back in for night 2 on not enough sleep! Still I’m on a part time 2 on 6 off kind of shift!
