designwise 's review for:

Ulysses by James Joyce
5.0

Then, when I was serving a 45-day jail sentence, I immersed myself in the book and devoured all 768 pages and understood the entire work. I read it a second time a few years ago and found it even more delicious a second time around. I wrote an extensive article on my experience and the discoveries made along the way as I got to know this book as an old friend... http://www.stephenkastner.com/ulysses-bloomsday-june-16-james-joyce/
