When you're reading Ulysses, just remember that it's not like other books. Its prose is incredibly artistic, almost to the point where you have to be paying complete attention to it to even remotely understand it. I remember listening to a chapter on Audible (though I can't remember what it was), where I thought a paragraph was absolute bollocks during the listen. Then, I closed my eyes for a second, and all of a sudden the book had an entirely new meaning. It was insane the way Ulysses could just become something so different when you take a look into the words.

Another thing you should note about Ulysses is that it's easy to get a headache reading it. Not because it's a bad book, but because of how many ideas the book is riddled with and how complex they are. Soon enough your head will fill to the brim and the rest will just sound like noise to you. Just turn it off and give it a listen the next day.

If you don't like the book, you'll definitely at least enjoy reading through the words, and picking apart the book itself and all of the artistic values that go into making it the complexity that it is.
