Please don't believe all the liars on this page who claim to have read - and understood - everything. They're totally full of shit. This page is not full of savants, and any book worth your time is going to take just that - time - to fully appreciate.
Also, reading aloud - especially fiction - is not a crime and is often the only way to fully appreciate a book. You're not going to enjoy Ulysses or In Search of Lost Time without hearing the prose read out loud. Anyone who says otherwise is totally full of shit.
I thought the whole point of Ulysses is that everybody is literally full of shit
Absolutely this
