>didn't start with ulysses

I wanted to read Dubliners, Portrait, and Inferno before Ulysses, of which I still haven't finished the latter. Once I'm done with inferno I'll get around to it.

I haven't read any of them, sorry. I don't think I can contribute to this thread.

would be nice to have read portrait after inferno, way more important to the context of portrait than ulysses, if at all. but its ok I guess

Too late, unfortunately. I'm already done Portrait. Which to be honest I found relatively disappointing, there were some highlights, but also some strong low lights. This may have been why I was slightly discouraged from getting to Ulysses too quickly

Bottom > Top fight me

The only reply you need

oh, I see. i personally enjoyed portrait quite a lot and ulysses even more. I can see very well why some people might not enjoy portrait though, but don't get discouraged by that, its a completely different novel

>Rating books with numbers
Ok boy go back to >>>/sffg/

How is Inferno necessary

I didn't say it was necessary, I just want to. I'm sure reading Portrait isn't necessary either, but it (according to friends/peers whose opinions I respect) will bolster the experience.

not 'necessary' but in portrait of the artist the father 'sermon' is heavily influenced/inspired/based on dante's inferno

Well yeah, it makes the experience better. You may also want to read dubliners.

>Didn't start with the fart letters

Basically, they're all 10s, that's why they're so trendy.

>hasn't read Joyce or Dante
>feels like his opinion matters

when did this board die?

i cannot see those in the meme trilogy!!!!! where them at

Ulysses: 10/10
Infinite Jest: 10/10
Gravity's Rainbow: 10/10

>Ulysses is 11/13 farts of which 2 are silent and moist
>IJ is exactly 21.7 grams of all purpose baking flower
>GR rating values are growing exponentially at a rate of 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34 bananas and counting

The relation of value between flower, farts and bananas may vary depending on your state's economy and fluctuates daily. Value is a non plateaued commodity, check the market frequently

I'm on chapter 2 of portrait should I pause and read inferno

9/10 - Ulysses
7/10 - McElroy
8/10 for the rest

I've only read Infinite Jest. It's okay. 7.9/10.

Do I check the rates after or before my privilege?

always before privilege as 'one's privilege' is a sociological construct dead pretty much everywhere outside the US

I already have

Not sure if this is bait but he's talking about Letters to Nora
