Given that you read fast, that's not as damning as it could be Tom Send a noteboard - 14/09/2011 02:29:55 AM
I thought it was awful. I may try reading from the end forward (meaning reading each chapter from the last to the first sequentially) like Jung did and see if it is better that way if I ever have lots of time on my hands and the internet is down and I don't have any interest in sex or even masturbation, and I don't have access to any books other than Ulysses, and I don't need to clean anything or pluck nose hairs.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

I don't think you can compare fantasy series and real literature Tom - 13/09/2011 09:13:26 PM 885 Views

If you don't like it at about 75-100 pages in, you just won't like it. *NM* Tom - 15/09/2011 04:30:27 AM 363 Views
Took a class on it. Aeryn - 14/09/2011 11:27:24 PM 920 Views

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man was enough to stop me reading more Joyce. Rebekah - 15/09/2011 07:59:22 AM 905 Views
It was precisely because I liked A Portrait of the Artist that I tried Ulysses. Tom - 15/09/2011 03:46:31 PM 847 Views
Actually this is one of the few things I've disagreed with Jung on. Panorphaeon - 21/09/2011 12:23:34 AM 810 Views
