Hence the similarity, I'm sure. You might like <i>Ulysses</i> better now that you've been Beckett-less for a while!

It reminded me too much of Beckett, which I had just suffered through with a professor who LOVED Beckett. So I only read a bit of Ulysses. But this makes me want to give it another try. Thanks.

I thought it was way too long, though, so in that respect it could've used some good editing. Ill be reading your chronicle for sure! Maybe I'll have some questions later on...

I definitely wouldn't have been ready for it then, either (kind of like when I tried to read <i>Hamlet</i> in grade six... some things just need to wait!) Grade eight, wow.

I look forward to reading your posts, maybe it will spark my interest in the book again.
