This is hard work. ( ) That was the longest, most grueling (five week) day in my life. This was not my first attempt to read Ulysses. It was my fourth - the last was in 1991. I know this because a bookmark in Episode 3, where I abandoned it last, was my son’s invitation to his playmate’s fourth birthday party. I am glad I stuck it out this time, although I found so much of it tedious and dense. The last episode, supposedly an hour in Molly Bloom’s head, was the best in my opinion, although I am not sure I would have felt the same had I not simultaneously read the book and listened to the audio book. The episode has nearly no punctuation and few paragraph breaks. The reader orally paused, taking the guesswork out of it. I am not sure why Joyce chose that writing device. It felt sexist to me, as if only the men were capable of proper punctuation, even though their thoughts were at least as, if not more, rambling and often random. Lots of lovely prose sprinkled in though, lyrical and illustrative. I reached my private Everest. If you like puzzles and poetry, and are not really interested in reading a story, you might like this book, at least if you take a year and read a hundred pages per month, taking time to analyze and ponder every single line. If this text was a long lost key to the 'grand unified theory of everything', or the only available record on the history and culture of the lost city of Atlantis, such an undertaking could be quite rewarding, since spending that long trying to tease some sense out of a text makes sense where the text has such value. Otherwise, who in their right mind would bother wasting so much time on so much drivel just for a tale about a couple drunk, sexist men in Dublin wandering about town after a funeral? So, did I enjoy this book? Nope. Would I recommend this book? Nope. Are there thousands of books more worth spending time on compared to this book? Absolutely. I occasionally enjoyed the nerd-factor of recognizing references to other stories, books and authors, and there are lots of these references, but this enjoyment never quite made up for the pointlessness of focusing so much energy on just trying to focus on the text for a few more pages without getting too bored and annoyed. Some classics are just not that good, and this is one of them. I've been trying to read this book since I was 14. It is by turns tedious and delightfully absorbing. Some parts really are just silly. It manages to be simultaneously pretentious and down-to-earth. It is definitely vulgar in parts. It's re-readable and readable over and over in many ways, and the culture of readership, interpretation, and biography that has accrued around it is part of the fun. If you are in Dublin it's a great way to explore Dublin. I enjoy it and I might come back to it. I have now made it all the way to episode 15, Circe, and this time I know I will finish it. I recommend following along with a good audiobook, reading aloud, attending a Joycean/Bloomsday event. It's actually fun.
