I also tried reading Ulysses before, and it has the distinction of being the only book I've ever put down for being too perplexing (I made it about 50 pages in). And that led to the start of my TBR list, with Ulysses at the top. I consider it a challenge I have to dominate at some point. Me vs Ulysses, mano a mano. Ulysses may have won the initial battle, but I expect to eventually win the war!

So here I am years later, and since I made a 2012 TBR list, I couldn't resist putting Ulysses on there and finally taking another crack at it.

PS - Acid, huh? Explains a lot! (Just kidding! )
