Ulysses

It's one hell of a novel, to be sure. I was lucky enough to get in on a class that studied it, ad nauseum, and without it, I'm not sure I'd have had the stamina. As it is, I still love it, and have it close at hand to gaze upon as a testament that I'm not really a shallow reader.
Seriously though, how many pages were devoted to his thoughts while on the crapper? Seriously?
I still can't truly recognize the step-by-step shadowing of Homer's classic. It strains my mind and my eyesight, no matter how many times I was told that it was there. Should I read it again? Very possibly. Then again, maybe I'm just afraid that I'll go as crazy as Joyce did, by osmosis.
It's been so many years since reading it, and yet it still has a big impression in my brain. That's saying an awful lot.

It was pretty amazing. Took a whole course on it in college. :)

DARE is the right word, right? I've been thinking about that little monster for years, but it's like the Shaknado of the literary world. You know it's going to eat you and you've been avoiding it for years, but after so much has been said about it, you just... kinda... want... ...to get eaten.
Tell me what month you'd like to try it and I'll cue it. :)

By the way, I'd like to add you as my friend, if you allow me to.
Of course! And I'll read the book in June, too, then. :)
