>"He pilfered a copy of 'Ulysses', but it was possible the one book he did not finish. "What's the point of it? I suspect it was a bit of a joke by Joyce. He just kept his mouth shut as people read into it more than there was. Pseudo-intellectuals love to drop the name 'Ulysses' as their favorite book. I refused to be intellectually bullied into finishing it.""

Yeah I just read it. No, he's just a weirdo. There are plenty of not crazy ways to live like a hermit. Go into the mountains, build a cabin and a garden take a gun with you. People do it all the time.

lol it's a book. who's bullying him into finishing it?
what's with plebs being threatened when it comes to difficult books like that? They're the ones who just want everyone to enjoy a nice story and not worry about what others think or something. but even just the sight of a IJ and or a GR makes them so buttmad. It's just another form of "stop liking what I like".

People don't seem to understand that you don't have to justify how you feel about things. "I don't like it" is enough. But then they feel self conscious because they see people they identify as "above" them enjoy something, so then they think they must be "worse" for not liking something. So then comes insulting the something, so they can feel better about not liking the thing. "You're not better than me for liking the thing- you're worse for liking the thing, thereby making be better" People gotta learn to not give a shit. Sometimes? Sure. But most of the time? Eh.

Nobody who's intelligent thinks you have to be intelligent to analyze a novel.
But if you're really impressed by big words and name-dropping, then sure, you have to be smart to understand these door-stoppers. It's all relative.
