  Twice, and I dip into it now and then and read a chapter. It’s one of my favorites.

    I think Joyce was great, and I have a lot of respect for what he's done on his work regarding form, but I tried really hard and it was unbearable to keep on reading Ulysses - I got past half, but had to abandon - and this is coming from someone really used to 'hard' reads.

  I think the conceit (the different styles for different chapters) sometimes overwhelms the book, but it has a lot of highlights, like the opening and closing chapters. I think of this quote often: History, Stephen said, is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.
