The only book i can see not reading before i die is Ulysses..Considered a classin in Irish literature because of it’s allusions to many past Irish authors i found the book to be incredibly difficult—boring—because i had no familiarity with the Irish writers Joyce cited...
Now his poem Trees i can handle...but not Ulysses..Even Joyce’s wife asked him why did he write such a useless book, so hard to understand?..i agree—Ulysses is useless...
