I read a lot of the "classics" and can usually find some redeeming quality in them. Not so with Ulysses

i feel like ulysses is the kind of book that is considered a classic because it's very complex and impressive to write (there's like a billion allusions to other lit, very extensive use of vocab, etc), but it's terrible to read.

it's like ballet. from a cultural perspective im glad that there are people performing it and keeping the art form alive, but theres no fucking way im going to go watch it lol

Ulysses is such a boring book.

Not sure what you were expecting after seeing "by James Joyce". :P
