I think Ulysses isn’t anywhere near #1 because there’s a fear of running into someone who actual read it. Joyceans start spouting off about “the ineluctable modality of the visible” and the bluffer is in trouble.

"“the ineluctable modality of the visible” refers to our inescapable reliance upon vision in perceiving the world and in perceiving ourselves"
