Ulysses
James Joyce
This modern literary masterpiece loosely follows the Odyssey and captures a single day in the life of ordinary Dubliners in 1904. With experimental techniques ranging from interior monologues to exuberant wordplay and earthy humor, it pushes Celtic lyricism and vulgarity to splendid extremes. A major achievement in 20th century literature.

Ulysses by James Joyce. People view it as this inaccessible, mysterious, complicated opus... but it's a very democratic book, about a guy going through life and the incredible depth and meaning to be found in the everyday. – source2022-05-20T19:33:49.000Z
Here I am reading a bit of Ulysses, along with others reading other bits, to celebrate this centennial year of the great book. – sourceI also really love a line from Ulysses, which is 'The longest way around is the shortest way home.' – source
