Joyce, you randy devil

A bawdy three-page letter written in 1909 by literary icon, James Joyce, to his main squeeze, Nora Barnacle, just fetched a whopping £240,800 ($590,000 Canadian) at auction. If I'd known writing dirty paid so much money, I would have taken a course or something. Joyce's "Araby" is one of my all-time favourite short stories, but I've still got his daunting Ulysses (considered by many to be the best novel of the 20th century) on my "to read" list.
