Re: James Joyce and Ulysses
I just started reading this about a week or two ago and I am really enjoying it so far. However, it is slow going. I find myself reading a page or two, thinking "Ummmm, what?" and then rereading the page. Usually I get it the second or third time around and after about an hour or two, I start to get really into it.
The problem is that I can't seem to just pick it up from time to time and read for a half-hour or so without feeling lost. It really does demand attention but I love when everything starts clicking and you start understanding the thought process of the characters. Of course, I'm not that far in, so maybe it gets quite a bit more difficult.
