PICTURE: Rare Snapshot Of The Beautiful Marilyn Monroe Showing Her Love For Something Irish

This snapshot of Marilyn Monroe enjoying James Joyce's Ulysses has surfaced from the depths of the internet for the weekend that was in it. 

The picture, which featured on Facebook page Rare Irish Stuff, shows Marilyn relaxing on the grass as she finishes the classic work of literature.

Yesterday, Bloomsday was celebrated around the world to commemorate the life of Irish writer James Joyce.

Many online today are surprised to see Monroe finishing up what is known to be a particularly difficult book to read, but the actress actually had an impressive IQ score of 168.
