admit it
this book is about nothing, a waste of time hidden behind big words and inane ramblings
everyone claiming they enjoy or 'get' this book are lying

It' just a bunch of references coated in really nice prose.
6.3/10 wouldn't quite recommend it

To have the experiential reference to "admit" something like that, you'd figure you had some incredibly subtle and refined platform of a wealth of life experience with which to deny the artistry involved in creating something like ulysses.
I would be willing to bet my life, gun to the head, that you don't, and simply want to stirr the pot in order to have a fancy little 'argumentative' thread here. Go ahead and have it. It's not going to amount to anything other than the temporary abeyance of your underlying boredom with life, lack of ability to become motivated to focus on anything. Go ahead, let's talk about how one of the greatest books of all time is just a big-word hullabaloo. That souunds fuuuuun suuuuure cooool maaaaaaannnnnnnnnn leeetsss alllll haaaannng ourrselllves tooooo whillle weeereee attt ittttt

No wonder you didn't fucking understand it, you pseud. Don't insult or call out others based on your own intellectual shortcomings, you cunt.

>this book is about nothing
I am perplexed - how can you think this? So many events are described in the book, from the ones that really happened on that day in Dublin that is being portrayed, to the ones which are tied to fictitious characters, both main (Steven, Leopold) and tertiary (Kernan, Leonard etc).
Please consider giving this fantastic book another chance, but after at least reading The Odyssey, Hamlet, Dubliners and A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man.
