Ulysses

Ulysses - James Joyce Things that surprised me about Ulysses:

1. It wasn't just a bunch of victorian prissy hyperbole, it really is pornographic.
2. It's about an ad man.
3. It was only hard to read for the first 100 pages.
4. It is NOT about a man just walking across Dublin. Why does everyone always tell me that? What a bad description!
