I can't believe I finally did it. This afternoon, I finished reading Ulysses.
After sitting on my bookshelf for a couple of years, I started reading it some 5 months ago. And what a ride it has been! 828 pages of people changing gender or species in the middle of a conversation, 70-page sentenses with no interpunction whatsoever, chapters in the form of a play or a sappy romantic novel, a Q&A, stream-of-consciousness-type chapters with every coherent and incoherent thought written down and the chapter where Joyce must have taken out his Dublin city map and a stopwatch to make it all fall into place.
I never expected it to be this rewarding, but it was. I won't say I'd recommend it to anyone though, because I don't want to have such a thing on my conscience.
