>Do you think the cashier at the bookstore was impressed?
Today, the presumably high school aged drive-thru girl at Chick-Fil-A and I made sexually charged eye contact. She then did the exact "attracted" actions all the TikTok girls do in the "How I act as a cashier when I'm not attracted to the customer vs. how I act when I'm attracted to the customer" videos, namely she tried to seem cool, calm, and composed, and looked up and to her left while she ran my card.

Why bros...why must the underaged always find me attractive. Why can't the fucking hot alternative bartender chick give me the same fucking energy when I order a drink/beer?

Not that anon, but I've read it two times. He'a correct. It's not difficult to read at all. Granted, it shouldn't be one of your first books, but if you've managed to make it through 10 books, there's no reason you can't finish Ulysses.

It's also not somethinf your going to get an a first read, nor is that possible for any decent novel while we're at it. I honestly don't understand why you're trying to fetishize Ulysses, or why you're moving the goal post from "You'll to never read it" to "Ok it's actually not hard to read, BUT you'll never truly understand it."

>James Joyce

8 December 1909: 44 Fontenoy Street, Dublin

My sweet little whorish Nora,

I did as you told me, you dirty little girl, and pulled myself off twice when I read your letter. I am delighted to see that you do like being fucked arseways. Yes, now I can remember that night when I fucked you for so long backwards. It was the dirtiest fucking I ever gave you, darling. My prick was stuck up in you for hours, fucking in and out under your upturned rump. I felt your fat sweaty buttocks under my belly and saw your flushed face and mad eyes. At every fuck I gave you your shameless tongue come bursting out through your lips and if I gave you a bigger stronger fuck than usual fat dirty farts came spluttering out of your backside. You had an arse full of farts that night, darling, and I fucked them out of you, big fat fellows, long windy ones, quick little merry cracks and a lot of tiny little naughty farties ending in a long gush from your hole. It is wonderful to fuck a farting woman when every fuck drives one out of her. I think I would know Nora’s fart anywhere. I think I could pick hers out in a roomful of farting women. It is a rather girlish noise not like the wet windy fart which I imagine fat wives have. It is sudden and dry and dirty like what a bold girl would let off in fun in a school dormitory at night. I hope Nora will let off no end of her farts in my face so that I may know their smell also.

You say when I go back you will suck me off and you want me to lick your cunt, you little depraved blackguard. I hope you will surprise me some time when I am asleep dressed, steal over me with a whore’s glow in your slumbrous eyes, gently undo button after button in the fly of my trousers and gently take out your lover’s fat mickey, lap it up in your moist mouth and suck away at it till it gets fatter and stiffer and comes off in your mouth. Sometime too I shall surprise you asleep, lift up your skirts and open your hot drawers gently, then lie down gently by you and begin to lick lazily round your bush. You will begin to stir uneasily then I will lick the lips of my darling’s cunt. You will begin to groan and grunt and sigh and fart with lust in your sleep. Then I will lick up faster and faster like a ravenous dog until your cunt is a mass of slime and your body wriggling wildly.

Goodnight, my little farting Nora, my dirty little fuckbird! There is one lovely word, darling, you have underlined to make me pull myself off better. Write me more about that and yourself, sweetly, dirtier, dirtier.

JIM

Yes. And Proust also wrote a letter to his Grandpa requesting the sum of 13 francs because he broke a vase during an unsuccesful attempt to have sex with a prostitute, which he was ordered have sex with by his father due to Proust's father's fears that Proust's excessive masturbation was turning him gay (too late lmao).

There has been such an "ick, old men dating young women" narrative lately, just look at the seething about Leo DiCaprio. It's gotten to the point that kids are claiming that older highschoolers who date young highschoolers are basically pedos. This has resulted in girls feeling like older men are extra forbidden, and we all know forbidden men are sexy.

I don't get you retards, how do you not understand Ulysses or James Joyce? He isn't some genius and Ulysses isn't some monumental achievement. It was written to literally troll the academic literary community. He made the book dense with almost every literary technique available to him. He knew that academics would spend decades, if not centuries, trying to decipher a deeper meaning from Ulysses. People would literally pay for the privilege of trying to understand Ulysses. But there is nothing to understand. There is no true deeper meaning. The whole thing is a brilliant troll. You all on this Mongolian basket weaving website ought to have picked that up right away.

Joyce is the complete opposite to the modern coomer. He grew up traumatized and repressed by Catholicism so is obsessed with sex. The modern coomer has all the porn he wants so doesn't give a fuck about sex.

There is, it is just not buried in the references, has a great deal to say about modern life. I suspect you meant to say there is no hidden meaning?

Not bad, fk the haters. The only thing I would add is a reading guide for Ulysses; a family friend gifted me one along with a nice copy of the book and the guide is larger than the book itself. So good.
