@lunalein@bookstodon Joyce's Ulysses: first time around, certain sections made me understand, based on Joyce's brilliant ability to capture dialogue and language in general, why so many people have called it the greatest novel ever. Revisiting it ten years later, I still appreciated it, but was less enamored in general. (However, another instance, involving reading it aloud with a group, was a real joy, and different, of course, from reading it on one's own in silence.) #books#literature
