What's the funniest part?

My vote is when Stephen explains his sprawling theory about Shakespeare being the ghost of Hamlet's father, alluded to all throughout the preceding episodes. John Eglington asks him whether he believes it himself, and Stephen simply replies "no".

He's such a fucking wreck it's just too much. And anything with Buck Mulligan too.

probably when Joe gets shitfaced during the citizen chapter and starts shitting on Bloom and throwing out wrong words in his head.

but honestly just anything with Buck Mulligan

Surprisingly, Buck Mulligan and the Ballad of Joking Jesus killed me. I say surprisingly, because I think it was in only the first 10 pages of the book.

Also, Circe is probably the funniest chapter in the book period IMO, especially the part where Bloom turns into a woman, the mere writing of which is making me laugh because it's so fucking ridiculous.

Bloom's transforming wardrobe of outfits that change out every time he has dialogue or an action in the chapter with long sections written like a play really gave me the giggles.

Talking about that one guy's death, "and a great future behind him". Lots of little lines like that throughout the book that caught me unawares.

>and a great future behind him
lol, that one got me too

Also, the ballad to be sung in a voice suggestive of "suppressed rancor"

> Perhaps it should be added that the effect is greatly increased if Owen's verse be spoken somewhat slowly and indistinctly in a tone suggestive of suppressed rancour.
> The curse of my curses
> Seven days every day
> And seven dry Thursdays
> On you, Barney Kiernan,
> Has no sup of water
> To cool my courage,
> And my guts red roaring
> After Lowry's lights.
