I started Ulysses by James Joyce on Friday. Planning to read one chapter a day. Reading it alongside Harry Blamires' The New Bloomsday Book. Pretentious, I know, but it has sat on my shelves for many years and this year marks the centenary of its publication, so it's now or never!
I must have read Ulysses over 50 times, first as a (rather baffled) teenager with a paperback copy from Queen's university bookshop, then at university with a bit more understanding (in David Lodge's seminars), and subsequently numerous times. I'd like to be able to read it again as though it was the first time.
By the way, RTE have a very good spoken version, freely available here, which is a good companion to reading the text.
