Sometimes you'll find fantastic threads regarding GR. When I finished reading the book, I posted a thread regarding the understanding of GR and there were a lot of informative and interesting discussion points/interpretations, as well as people sharing their favourite moments. A fair few have read GR on here, but many also seem to only know it as that one book with the poopy eating and banana breakfasts, even though those are a very, very small portion of the book.

Banana breakfast is mentioned in one episode like 15 pages deep

Slog through Eumaeus, user. Ithaca and Penelope are both more than worth it.

It's not "just" for the prose (Leopold Bloom is a beautiful character), but that's what makes Ulysses so famous. The way Joyce plays with an encyclopedia of form.
Daniel Diaz
Eumaeus is by far the worst chapter of the novel, by design since Joyce deliberately wrote it to be exhausting for the reader. The next chapter, however, Ithaca, is the best in the novel. Incredible.
