1 year agoUlysses by Joyce. I have tried and tried and then waited 10 years and tried again. I cannot. I’ve read the Cliff’s Notes and that’s as far as I’ll get.
Yet this book is on almost every top 10 books of all time list.
I consider it one of the best books I’ve ever read. The writing style makes it tough to read but you have to just take it slow and find the rhythm. (That’s what she said).
But it’s also about more than the old west. An allegory for hell. You have to take easy and admire it for the sheer craft of it.
