This year (2022) is the centenary of the publication of James Joyce's "Ulysses", by Shakespeare and Company of Paris.
Not being something that I had read, I downloaded a PDF copy and made a start. After many months of reading, late in the evening (typically for half an hour), I had passed the one quarter stage but had not reached the one third stage of the novel . . . at which point I gave up. It just proved to be impossible to read.
At least the authorised English version of Adolf Hitler's "
Mein Kampf" had clearly labelled chapters, sections, paragraphs and sentences, unlike "Ulysses" which is just a stream of (misspelt by error or design? who knows
) words (both real and inventions).
