God mode: don't say "just read the book"

Isn't the Ulysses one meant to highlight the final phrase in the novel?

Ulysses makes obvious sense, and is an amazing cover

The other two are pointless shit
>>
No need to be a hard juicer, the first is sort of attributing a parenthetical or additive value to "ers" to highlight how the book is not about dubliners but Dublin, through Dubliners (I'm not saying it's a good or clever way of doing it by the way, I think it's woefully uncreative); the Y-E-S is the last word of Ulysses, which critics have wanked over quite a lot (Joyce might have too, the letters are found in the beginning as well, how quaint james) and "as a young man", I don't know, there's the obvious, but it's probably just coming on from the previous two.

If the John Green audience shifted to read James Joyce the world would be a better place.

Cover aren't meant to make sense, they're just for looking pretty on ya bookshelf.

Obvious as in basic and not very interesting: it's an oeuvre de jeunesse, by later Joyce standards, + the youthful, carefree character of hastily chalked words in contrast with printed characters.
