Anyone read Ulysses by James Joyce? I'm reading it at the moment. Don't have A CLUE what's happening, I'm just staring at the words like a simpleton.

It has been on my TO-READ list for some years, but I have never mustered the courage to read it. I have read Joyce's other works, like Portrait... and DUbliners.

his stuff seems to vary between straightforward with some surreal elements (sputnik sweetheart, norwegian wood) and surreal with a noir/detective frame story (wind up bird, wild sheep chase, hard boiled wonderland). either way, i like every single book he's written, and i can't think of another author who i can say the same for.

the only way for you to know the truth is to find out for yourself!!!!1111 ;)
Zaphod: yeah, I love the Predator books just as much as I love the movies and the video games. :D Did you ever read the one about the asian chick Miko or something like that, who managed to defeat an Alien queen in meelee combat, so the predators took her in as one of their own? They gave her special armor and a mask that would actually fit her (cuz those blokes are fuckin big) and dredded her her and such... And she joined them in the hunts... that one was great.

Dostoevsky- Crime and Punishment, Notes from Underground Nabokov- Invitation to a Beheading Dick-Man in High Castle, Flow My Tears... Borges-everything that man ever wrote is fucking brilliant... easily my favourite writer...
Camus-the outsider Kafka-(various) Joyce-Dubliners Beckett-... well no wait a minute... it's more the concept of his works than anything...
Marquez-100 years of Solitude i'm really not very well read though... i must read way more than i do... :(

actually another one of my favorite books is U2 at the End of the World by Bill Flannigan... damn, I've read that book like 4 or 5 times, for some strange reason... not sure why really, I just love the way you almost feel like you're on tour with the band, and are zipping off to all these plces with them... nice exciting read!
