There is no sex scene in the last chapter of Ulysses, but IMO it's the best of the book, together with the first one. And yes, I did read the whose book, believe it or not.
About the Bible, I started to read it several times (every time stupidly starting at the beginning) and gave up, but lately I have been reading, and even, incredibly, enjoying, Robert Alter's translation of the Five Books of Moses. The best part is his footnotes, I couldn't go through the book without them. This was, after all, written some 2500 years ago (give or take a couple of centuries, I am very bad at remembering dates and numbers), and it does require some explanation.
