/lit/ - Literature

only people who haven't read Ulysses say it's "impossible to understand" or "intellectual masturbation" or "nonsense".
It's a beautiful novel and very well written, and overall, it's not even hard to understand.
Sure, there is wordplay and some other devices like changing style from chapter to chapter, but first of all, you don't need to understand everything in order to enjoy it, and second of all, most of these "tricks", if you will, are good humoured jokes.
If one doesn't take it so seriously, at least not at first, one might enjoy it, but if you are like some of the retards ITT which are so insecure they need to continuously label it as incoherent intellectual masturbation, you will never be able to read it and will miss out on one of the greatest novels ever written.

and then think about the number of lifetimes you could spend extracting every nugget of wisdom out of one of the great encyclopedic works, or the KJV

Read Ulyssese in 2016 and 2018, definitely one of my favorite books.
Currently reading Critique of Pure Reason but I might be able to finish it by June 16.
Trying to convince myself to re-read it along with you lads, been I while since I read any fiction.
Been meaning to read it again for a couple of years already...
