Do I still get pseud points if I just read Ulysses cover to cover but only understood 15-20% of what I read? It took me approximately 28 days of reading

that’s the only way of reading it

Read it four or five times more. Twenty times would be ideal.

Did you enjoy it? Then no.
Did you dislike it but decided to push on anyway? Then no.
Did you not actually read all of it but decide to post this anyway, then yes obviously

I enjoyed it in the same way I would enjoy running a marathon. The act is not very fun but being able to say I did it is precisely why I did it

Proteus and Oxen of the Sun are hard, I haven't bothered trying to understand those fully. But the rest of the book should be understandable with some careful reading.

Theres probably a small percentage of people in the world who actually "get it". Read it for enjoyment and if you do great, if you dont then you're a fucking pleb.
