I find that Ulysses is a completely different book every time I read it. Perhaps that's because I'm under the influence of whatever analysis, essay, or bit of commentary I happen to have read about it, or class I happen to be taking, just before diving in. Or perhaps it's because I've been in a different life stage, or state of mind, each time. But honestly, if I weren't a strict unbeliever in the supernatural, I'd swear that Joyce hastily rewrites the book, from beyond the grave, each time I open it up. I know of no other book that has this effect on me.
