Not read Ulysses if I'm honest, don't dare to yet. Read a lot of Dubliners and flicked through Portrait of the Artist as a young man and rather enjoyed them so yeah.
Poem's about stuff you mentioned are poems I enjoy more if I'm honest. It's all nice writing about some trees and a cute dog but I prefer gritty realistic poetry.
Shakespeare was indeed talented, but I hate the assumption he's the be all and end all of renaissance drama. Much prefer Marlowe myself. There's more to literature than just Shakespeare.
Big fan of Hamlet though, classic play. Hate Romeo and Juliet. Had a debate the other week and I was on the side arguing how R+J was a comedy/satire rather than a tragedy! It's fair to say we won ha. Mercutio's one liners are just pure class.
Back on topic....seriously considering getting my tattoo soon! The girlfriend has just got her third so I feel a bit behind ha.
Have yet to hear of anyone on here who actually has tattoo(s)!
