Today is the day I finally finished reading Ulysses by James Joyce. I started reading this detestable book back in 2006. I’ve obviously not been reading this continuously for that entire time, but the thought of reading it has been in the back of my mind for much of this time.
Well, today is the day I finally reached the end. I am so pleased not to have to read this book any more. It is the least enjoyable book I have read in my entire life.
Now I’m going to start reading Ready Player One by Ernest Cline. The few things I’ve read about it seem interesting, and I am looking forward to reading it. 🙂
It makes you think, sometimes these “must read” lists are to be taken with a pinch of salt. Why finish it if you didn’t enjoy it?
I think the lists are made by asshole English Literature professors who want to seem more intelligent than they are.
I read it simply because it’s on the list. I was disappointed when I didn’t get any sort of achievement or trophy…
