I gave up after 3 chapters. I could not understand almost anything in this book. It is a giant mess. Have you actually read it and understood it?

The third was beautiful. You’re probably trying to understand everything which isn’t the point. Joyce tries to recreate the complexity of the human mind and people’s lives. He does a good job of showing how you could never fully understand someone.

Yeah well quit trying to recreate a movie in your head. Your entire conception of what it means to understand what you're reading needs to be demolitioned

Pleb. I read and fully comprehended Joyce's œuvre when I was 12 years old.

Use the online guide. Reading it on its own is basically like someone in 100 years time trying to decipher a Kevin Smith movie
