Whats your favorite episode of Ulysses and why (if you can explain why)?For me it's Ithica, there's something about it, i find it... emotional. very emotional yes. (Yes, because he never asked for breakfast in bed!). I can't explain why, for me its the highlight of the book, even one year since i read the book i still think of Stephen and Bloom drinking hot coco, the awkwardness and pissing beneath the shooting star. listing things as he nods off. i think it's the best bit of the book and i can't explain why, haha.

>>25251349good taste!!! that was when i stopped slogging around the novel and started to really enjoy it, i adore this one bit:>Maeterlinck says: If Socrates leave his house today he will find the sage seated on his doorstep. If Judas go forth tonight it is to Judas his steps will tend. Every life is many days, day after day. We walk through ourselves, meeting robbers, ghosts, giants, old men, young men, wives, widows, brothers-in-love, but always meeting ourselves.
Circe or Ithaca, a little tired to explain why right now, but I’m sure you can infer. His prose reaches its peak in these chapters, and one is like a wildly irrational Alice-like fantasy while the other is this cold, rational catechistic document. They’re both still very beautiful and actually a little poignant upon further thought. After Gargantua and Pantagruel, and Moby Dick, it’s my favourite novel.
>>25251398Nausicaa and Sirens are very close behind though and Nausicaa may take Circe’s place one day in j another read.
the one where they say yes
