  • They Say...

    "A few intuitive, sensitive visionaries may understand and comprehend ULYSSES, James Joyce's new and mammoth volume, without going through a course of training or instruction, but the average intelligent reader will glean little or nothing from it--even from careful perusal, one might properly say study, of it--save bewilderment and a sense of disgust. It should be companioned with a key and a glossary like the Berlitz books. Then the attentive and diligent reader would eventually get some comprehension of Mr. Joyce's message."

    - New York Times

    "Finally I venture a prophecy. Not 10 men or women out of a hundred can read ULYSSES through, and of the 10 who succeed in doing so, five of them will do so as a tour de force. I am probably the only person, aside from the author, who has ever read it twice from beginning to end. I have learned more psychology and psychiatry from it than I did in 10 years at the Neurological Institute."

    • "Study or forget it"

      Jay-Kay from South of Miami

      Surely one of the greatest English language novels ever written - but unlike Moby Dick, V, and Middlemarch, you won't get very much out of the narrative. If you take your time and study the novel (take notes and read secondary material), you will be rewarded with a depth of literature, of profound meaning, texture and emotion. I studied it in an advanced Eng lit class and am embarrassed to say that I am still short one chapter. Wait a sec, how can this book be only 5 hours long? It has like a thousand pages?

    • "I also read it twice!"

      fatanky from Sotogrande, Spain

      Thanks New York Times, but I have read it twice, and now as a final attempt at understanding I'm going for the AudioBook. Surely one of the greatest books ever written, it does pay repeated reading. The book took me 6 months each time, hoping this will take less!
