Lol if Ulysses is crap, all literature is crap!
I have been asked several times what “classics” are actually crap. Here is a list (by no means exhaustive):
Jane Eyre
Wuthering Heights
Great Expectations
David Copperfield
Orlando
Ulysses
Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man
Finnegans Wake
Atonement
The Stranger

My sources tell me that @dontharrisme is NOT a Chinese honeypot
Who says reading culture is dead? Whenever I post about a book, I get hundreds of likes and bookmarks. Whenever I post about my loneliness, not a single ratbastard gives a fuck.
This book is gas so far (50 pages in). I am not reading it for school. I am reading it to fight loneliness and boredom and certain other interior terrors.
I first read this poem in 2018 and I laughed and also felt around my scrotum out of anxiety. Nice to read it again and reminisce etc.

A day will come, maybe tomorrow or several years from now, when you will stand in front of a mirror and it will feel like you are looking at your face for the very first time, as if you had never seen or known that face before. It will make all your hair stand on end.
