Have you guys actually read this? Type something that proves you've read it. Also general Ulyssess thread. I'll start

Came here to post this.

Literally exactly this what the fuck I thought we were meant to be Unique?!

>Paris rawly waking, crude sunlight on her lemon streets.

>Have you guys actually read this?
yes
>Type something that proves you've read it
no

>Swiftly, pert Burt Lancaster crashed down the stairs with a bowl of freshly made pancakes across which lay a crucifix and a dog's leash.

>"Kyrie eleison!" he blurted.

my favorite parts are the ways he portrays deaf pat and the blind stripling, one watching people's lips and selling secrets, and the other, a piano tuner with a proposed psychic ability to hear other's inner thoughts.
the contrast between the two and their lack of senses, without directly mentioning them in conjunction was pleasant to my sensibilities.

Is Ulysses actually good? Everything I've heard about it makes me think it's just a meme that literary critics use to make fun of people.

I'm taking a joyce class next semester and dude's not teaching finnegans wake.

how come? and it is a dedicated course on Joyce only?

what a fucking hack

Not that guy, but I expect it's not taught because the prof knows that no one will read it. It's a pain in the ass to prepare lectures and teach on something difficult when you know that the text has not been read. And he also might be a complete charlatan, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt,

Yes, it was a translation

Bloom gets turned into a woman and fucked by the brothel owner

I wonder if he went back to live with Buck Mulligan

>Unique
To be Unique the creative nothing must first actually be creative.

The bit where they pee in his backyard and the light of the sun flitering through the clouds is dank

Op --- appears there are few folks on this board who aren't complete plebs...now what?

i read it a long time ago because i'm old
i mainly remember him jerking off to the qt with a limp and that fucking amazing chapter that's like a fugue with gold and blue (i think)

Gold and bronze

That whole chapter is dank desu

Mendelssohn was a Jew. Marx was a Jew... Spinoza. The son of your god was a Jew

oh right, yeah that was it

Why was Virag a moth?
Why did they buy that shitty coffee at the cabman shelter so late at night?
Does nymphs eat electric light?
Is Shakespeares brother in his plays?

UP up

They bought the shitty coffee because Stephen was drunk as fuck on absinthe and needed to sober up

O! She's lame!

>U.P.: up
What the fuck did this even mean and why was that guy so buttblasted by it

I haven't read the Gabler one. I might someday, but I've only ever read the revised one. I like when Bloom fantasizes about all the women killing themselves on his behalf.

use the finnegans wake method. out loud: ..

He pees up?

>Loud on left Thor thundered : in anger awful the hammerhurler.

...

I smiled at him. America, I said quietly, just like that. What is it? The sweepings of every country including our own. Isn't that true? That's a fact.

stately, plump buck mulligan came from the stairhead to forge in the smithy of his soul the uncreated conscience of his race as he listened to the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead
