Ulysses

By Small-Mug1980

I made a New Year’s resolution to really dig into older/classical novels. Lately I’ve been getting into more Murakami-style stuff, and I like how it’s kinda deep but leaves a lot up to the reader to figure out. I just finished *Crime and Punishment* a couple weeks ago, started *War and Peace* but I’m basically stuck/drop-and-pick-it-up for now (different story), and I’m only like 20 pages from finishing *To Kill a Mockingbird*. I kinda feel like once I get through *War and Peace* I’ll be in the right headspace to tackle *Ulysses*. But when I asked a few friends, the advice was all over the place. A lot of them said they couldn’t get into it because it wasn’t really their genre, and one person even said it felt like it went against their religion. So… should I actually read it? I’m the type that likes doing a lot of research and going into books with my eyes open. If it’s not a good idea for me, should I just drop *Ulysses* and go for *Pride and Prejudice* instead?
