Is there anything I should read before I read Ulysses?

>> No.1079768

You should read anything that's not Ulysses, because I can scarcely imagine a book that would be a greater waste of your time.

I'd say you should read some Pynchon. There's a waste of time for you. When you're done, come back to /lit/ and assert he's the best there's ever been without actually giving any reasons as to why.

I just started in Ulysses and I'm not sure if I like it yet. Some bits are really cool and I like how he plays with words btu sometimes I just have the feeling of digging into a mountain of shit to find some scarce gold nuggets.

Killing himself is a better idea. Otherwise he might listen to an audiobook.

might as well ask "Is there anything I should read before I read "The Waste Land?"
