Ulysses
Loosely based on the Odyssey, this landmark of modern literature follows ordinary Dubliners through an entire day in 1904. Captivating experimental techniques range from interior monologues to exuberant wordplay and earthy humor.

I am going to attempt this again - starting tomorrow on Radio 4. My original rating is a 1* and room 101, so let's see if I can get more out of it through the BBC.Don't hold your breath though.ETA: Flister Lisa gives a link on how to pretend you have finished Ulysses: http://anzlitlovers.com/tag/ul...
Rightly #1 on the Modern Library's list of the Best Novels of the 20th Century. An unparalleled reading experience, and Joyce is one of the only men I've ever read truly capable of fully capturing a woman's voice. Also, it's actually fun to read at times, when it's not difficult as hell!
