I'm about to read Ulysses without any supplementary

Why would you read something so obtuse if you didn't care about understanding it?

You're not really robbing anyone of satisfaction save yourself.

Get ready to waste some hours reading something you won't understand

Dont listen to em OP i often wish id just done it raw the first time.
Give it hell

This isn't actually a bad idea for your first reading of Ulysses, for the sake of familiarity, to prepare you for your second reading w/ supplementary materials. And if you're only gonna only read it once, probably not worth the effort.

And yet that's the way Joyce intended it.

Try to keep your idiocy on the down low.

Problem is the man was a fart obsessed loon who wrote a book that's roughly analogous to Literature's "Dwarf Fortress" in terms of user friendliness.

No?

Fuck Joyce. I read for transcendence, not to have a mild chuckle at a recognized reference

I like the idea of reviewing familiar territory with a deeper perspective.
I'll post results.


Eventually.
