It was The Satanic Verses that sparked my belated desire to read James Joyce. Incomprehensibly even to me, I really wanted to understand what Rushdie was trying to convey. Apparently that is not possible without first understanding Lucretius, Ovid, and James Joyce. I read The Odyssey long ago and enjoyed it, but it seems I must read it again before tackling more of Joyce.
Reading is both a joy and a torture. God help us.
