i've avoided Ulysses because it seemed like a book people read just to say they had read it and i was bored with modernist stream of consciousness things. but after a steady diet of linear storytelling in the past year, maybe i'm ready to float through the layered sentences and rabbit hole references. i'm finally part of a reading group (my first, which i am failing at spectacularly). it may take me all year so i'll have to adjust my reading goal again

@wynkenhimself It's frustrating to keep up because there are universally accepted "chapters" that pertain to the episodes of Bloom's day as they relate to the Odyssey but the book itself has only 3 chapters. I'm using m.joyceproject.com/ to follow along. it links to every possible reference, which tbh is exhausting.
