very challenging read, best done aloud and with accountability partners! it's a great book that opened my mind to the phonetics of language, the rhythm and beauty found in literature, and just how confusing James Joyce can make things. it's a great example of things being made clearer through their abstraction, a masterpiece and easily the most influential and groundbreaking books of the 20th century.

I have learned I need to read more Shakespeare and especially The Odyssey before reading this. Will be coming back!

Leopold Bloom, bloom, bloom. Fellow traveler. This is the ONLY book I've ever read twice. Hallelujah.
