Ulysses by James Joyce
I ended up reading this one. Simultaneously might be my favorite and least favorite read of the last year. It's an introspective novel about identity, journey, and vice. I would highly recommend to those who love literature with the caveat being that it gets extremely difficult to read, especially near the end.
That's not a vocabulary or sentence structure thing, Let's just say, the book is experimental.

9 RepliesI wonder what parents are thinking when they make their kid’s names alliterate. Like, it got to be on purpose, but, like, why? Alliteration is fun, but I feel like making a [i]name[/i] alliterate just makes the name feel so fake. Though in this particular case I bet they were called JJ as a kid.

1 ReplyI've never read [i]Ulysses[/i], but had to read "The Dead" (from [i]Dubliners[/i]) in HD and ended up reading the entire book for extra credit. I can understand Joyce's appeal to some, but it's not my thing. "Ulysses" by Alfred Lord Tennyson however, which I read for the same class, I tend to read a couple of times a year. "Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho' We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are; One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield."

I’ve heard it’s a ‘classic’ but haven’t gotten around to it yet. My fingers have already been significantly burned by a Jack Kerouac (Satori in Paris) so I may get around to reading it in a while but it’s not on my must-read list or anything.
