Bloom Day?

I believe he was actually referring to the book Ulysses by James Joyce. For some reason, some people refer to that novel as "Bloomsday", which is addressed in this quote from Amazon.com

which some friends sent him in honor of `Bloomsday,' as the day of Ulysses was already called

I don't think Ulysses could be done, though, because I don't believe it is public domain. James Joyce is a twentieth century author, and the novel was published in 1922. I don't know whether that means it's PD or not, but I would assume it's not.
I heard a piece on NPR (National Public Radio) the other day on this book. Apparently it is quite a classic. It is currently being made into a book on tape, with a huge cast of people (almost like a radio drama, I think). It apparently uses a very unique dialect (not as much so as Clockwork Orange, but the dialect and Joyce's method of writing make it a difficult read), and is a modern-day version of The Oddyssey.
I am guessing this would be an incredibly large project, though, because the book on tape is supposedly 49 hours long.

Oh - and I just realized that the sequel to Alice In Wonderland is called Through The Looking Glass (can't believe I forgot that).
Anyway - I remember watching a TV movie of Alice In Woderland when I was a kid, and it included Through The Looking Glass. That was a freaky story when I was a kid. I don't know if it still would be or not. It would be interesting to see (methinks it's time to head to the library to see if there is an audio book of Through The Looking Glass, so I can listen to it on my way to and from work).

Of course, if this e-book thing starts to take off, and someone figures out some sort of template to make it easy to create one, it would be cool to see some Orwell books added to the library as well (although, as mentioned above when speaking of Ulysses, there may be copyright issues with Orwell's novels as well).

I think it would be cool to see the sequel to Alice In Wonderland (The Jabberwock, or whatever it was called). This e-book is really cool. I am really enjoying reading this book on my Dreamcast.

That would be fantastic!

And I agree with Curt, there should be a template for this (maybe comparable to SBInducer) so anyone could do a similar thing.
