Default Re: James Joyce and Ulysses

I'm taking a British Lit (1900-1945) course right now and am writing my final paper on Ulysses. Wish me luck.

I am on page 350 out of about 900 in my edition and have found my mind wandering as a read, but every so often something catches my attention and I just think "holy crap this is awesome". You can open the book to any page and find something interesting.

I have to read the final chapter ahead of time for my class, and so far it is the most enjoyable one, followed closely by the third chapter where Stephen is sitting on the beach contemplating.

I don't know why but I think I would be proud to finish reading this book. My prof told me that Ulysses was voted the best novel of the 20th century, but it was also found to be the novel with the highest % of people who attempted ot read it to not finish it.
