Ah, Ulysses, a trigger for me. Ulysses is the reason I'm a college dropout. I was a junior year English major taking a twentieth-century novel class. We were assigned Ulysses, Swann's Way, The Magic Mountain, and The Moviegoer -- for good measure -- all in one semester. I'm a slow, careful reader. There was no way in hell. I took an incomplete and never returned. Academic malpractice at its worst.
To conquer Joyce yes ... To realize "no mud; no lotus" beautifully

My favorite piece of James Joyce writing is the story ‘The Dead’. For what it’s worth!
But not to worry, his grandson Stephen James Joyce failed to multiply.
Seriously there is a lot of Ulysses that's hard to SENSE but there is some really good stuff you can FEEL.
