It's very nice that you enjoyed Ulysses. I did not enjoy it for 100 pages. Reading it is pretty much only useful for bragging, which I see is alive and well.
Funny. I don't read to brag. Not because reading Ulysses wasn't an important part of my life — it was. But when I brag, I brag about things I've made, not other people's things I've consumed. Fortunately for both of us, I can confirm that my life's rich and full enough for me to brag about things without resorting to modernist literature.
