Night-owl Jun 2019 10:25pm, 14 Jun 2019 32,856 posts	0 Night-owl Greg let us know what you think think its the book I've seen in Waterstones quite intriguing different from Marie Kondo
Columba Jun 2019 6:51pm, 15 Jun 2019 18,108 posts	0 Columba I've read "Portrait of the Artist...". Has anyone (on this thread) read or even partially read Ulysses?
McGoohan Jun 2019 6:53pm, 15 Jun 2019 40,040 posts	0 McGoohan I gave up after about 20 pages. Too dense, too difficult. That might be one where an audiobook version with an Irish actor makes all the difference.
Bintmcskint Jun 2019 7:09pm, 15 Jun 2019 43,288 posts	0 Bintmcskint I have started The Salt Path. I read Ulysses at Uni. It wasn't really a pleasant experience. I think McG is right about the audiobook. Didn't the BBC do a version a few years back?
beebop Jun 2019 8:52pm, 15 Jun 2019 1,407 posts	0 beebop I read Ulysses at university also - took me two days and the night in between. Felt a little spaced in the tutorial. Never felt the urge to reread. Dunno why.
Diogenes Jun 2019 9:00pm, 15 Jun 2019 37,579 posts	0 Diogenes I’ve read the first third three times, but never beyond
beebop Jun 2019 9:04pm, 15 Jun 2019 1,409 posts	0 beebop I remember getting unreasonably irritated with the Nora Barnacle ‘stream of consciousness’ - might be because I’d been awake way too long, might be because it was nearly the end of the book and I wanted it to be over, might be because I found it completely unconvincing. And then I had to talk about it. 🙄
Columba Jun 2019 9:08pm, 15 Jun 2019 18,114 posts	0 Columba I think it will stay fairly low down on my list of priorities.
Fizz :-) Jun 2019 9:37pm, 15 Jun 2019 3,176 posts	0 Fizz :-) pokes head in Funnily enough, I have also just started The Salt Path. We have tickets to see Raynor Winn on Saturday. Any questions you’d like us to ask?
Diogenes Jun 2019 9:43pm, 15 Jun 2019 37,580 posts	0 Diogenes McG would like to know how much of it was made up
