My favorite book? Kinda. The book I've read the most? Definitely. This is a book you can read 10, 20 times and get something new out of it each time. There are dozens of books written about this book, and they add something too, but the thing itself is (really) thoroughly enjoyable. Still shocking in form after all these years, this is as good as a novel can be. (  ) Eoin | Jun 3, 2019 | After toiling away at this book for the last several months, I thought I should write something here. I took the liberty of reading the Cliff's Notes of this book at the same time, reading one chapter of Ulysses and then reading the corresponding chapter in the notes. I did this because 1) I'm not Irish, 2) I didn't live in Dublin in the early 1900s, and 3) I don't have the Odyssey memorized. Without the notes I would have gotten almost nothing out of the book, but with the notes I barely still understand it. The Notes makes it pretty apparent that reading his other works would have filled in some of the backstory, so I was at a disadvantage from the start. With classics, I always try to see what made the work a classic, but with Ulysses it's hard to see. The work was groundbreaking in the themes it brought up that never had been discussed so thoroughly before in literature, namely women's sexuality (it was banned in every English speaking country for obscenity, and for over a decade in the United States), but aside from that it's hard to see why it's a classic, let alone considered the best English-speaking novel of the 20th century by the Modern Library. Joyce was no doubt a literary genius, but those 783 pages belie its true length. The last chapter alone is 40 pages consisting of one sentence, without any punctuation save the final period. Groundbreaking? Yes. Enjoyable? No. The final thing I takeaway from this book is that I am certain that I will never encounter another work that is so difficult to read for as long as I live.

 For readers to whom books are an important means of learning about life, it stands preeminent above modern rivals as one of the most monumental works of the human intelligence. During the one exciting day in Dublin, Joyce turns the mind of Bloom inside out. The history of Ireland comes to us in refracted rays. Through Stephen Dedalus we are introduced to Joyce's own profound spiritual uneasiness, his sense of loss, his hatred of the pragmatic commercial ethic, his need for the moorings and soundings of the medieval Catholic synthesis, his mental honesty that won't permit him to accept a religion, no matter what its appeal, so long as his intelligence tells him it is a figment of dream.
