Reading Ulysses

Wow, it?s been quite a break. I skipped the last weekend and didn?t write anything here.

I am studying Ulysses, which I always wanted to read, as part of my quest to get better in writing in English. Just before it, I went back to basics with “Old man and the sea” and it was fine, but with Ulysses, things are different.

I wanted to take a sample paragraph, retype it here and mark all the words I don?t understand in bold, because it would make a nice visualization of what I mean. But I forgot to bring the book today.

I was considering if I would be able to impress people with the fact that I finished reading; even better, I could say that I liked it so much that I’ve read it twice. But my friend told me noone would believe this; she, for example, endured only 20 pages, and not even the original version.
