Second worst book I've ever read. Juvenile, pointless, and trolling nonsense. Yes, I read it from cover to cover. Highly recommend to everyone not to waste your life on this terrible tome that isn't at all a masterpiece. No redeeming quality other than the unique chapter that starts out with babble language. It's both stupid and a clever idea, a symbolism of a baby growing up but ultimately doesn't matter other than to prove he can be clever. Ulysses is valueless in almost every way.
Joyce is indeed a complete waste of time if you're not deeply interested in prose as a form of expression. You're better off reading and studying his contemporary and fellow citizen W.B.Yeats, an absolute giant who walked amongst people, a monument of poetry.
Dang. these comments are ice cold. Come on man, there's subtle humour to complement the gross humour, plus historical significance, stylistic pyrotechnics, sharply observed characterisations, quotable dialogue, deep insight and spiritual weight in the book. Maybe give it another shot sometime when you're less resentful
100 percent agree with everything you said. I would say if you really want to read Joyce stick with Dubliners and Portrait. Both Ulysses and Finnegan's Wake can be safely skipped. You are not missing out on anything from not having read those.
'Promo SM' 😏

I think it’s a fun book
