@Ticomaya,
Hah, Tico. We disagree on a lot, but I get your point.

@msolga,
ha ha

I just bought two copies of Ulysses.

I couldn't read the first one, and though another printing might help.

Still can't read it. It's a different language.


Greatest novel ever written? Why?

@IRFRANK,
You're not asking me why Ulysses is the greatest novel ever written, are you, IRFRANK?

I couldn't read it, either. Wink

Though I know quite a number of people do believe it to be a really great book. Perhaps one of them can answer your question? Smile

@mlrycp,
I have a feeling the answer is urban myth, by everybody.

@djjd62,
No, it's the one about reading the book and killing yourself.
