Ulysses

I finished Joyce's "masterpiece" a few weeks ago, and I finally put some thoughts together. I did not like the book, and it was not only because it was very difficult to read. I mean, yes, I needed spark notes and annotations. I found the book to be quite boring (except for the last 40 pages). More importantly, I did not like any of the characters. It turns out that I am like the tv station USA- characters welcome! I am proud that I read it, but I would not recommend the book. War and Peace was soooo much better. I may write more later, but for now, I am looking forward to Catch-22.
