Look... book confessions, continued. Joyce is hard to read. I've only ever gotten through Dubliners. I've stopped and started the rest. But I'd rather die with their contents a mystery than let someone give me the gist of it. That's the Gran Promise.

– EVERYBODY BE COOL, THIS IS A SUMMER READ. ANY OF YOU FUCKING HIPSTERS MOVE, AND I'LL INSPIRE EVERY MOTHERFUCKING LAST ONE OF YA.
I remember once reading a 4chan thread where somebody said something like "those [people who browse 4chan's literature board] are crazy, they'll tell you to read James Joyce!"
The literary taste of anybody from 4chan aside, I still haven't checked for myself whether that condemnation was deserved

You have a lot of interesting hills you're willing to die on.

I read Ulysses and I'm still not sure why.

In contrast to what I said on the last page, I think I've known all about James Joyce since around 1996. What a strange child.
