Look who's back!!! hey, @agreste 😎 Good to have you playing again hehe. Good books make an impression. Great books make a difference. They connect at a deeper level, sometimes bringing joy, sometimes intense solemnity and introspection. I am pleased that your experience didn't thwart your ability to move forwards and embrace other literary works of note. What in particular drew you back repeatedly to Ulysses? I too have reread certain books in my life, always those ones that brought profound joy or simply profundities. So I am curious 😊 Lovely to see someone mention poetry. I think one of the other commenters did too; either that or I have it on the brain as I was in poetic stream the other night myself.

Yes @samsmith1971, I think I missed a few contests.... I find Ulysses a wonderful book, written in a great way; each chapter is formally different, and he experiments with different ways of telling. I know it's a difficult book, boring as hell for many, but I could simply connect with it, move inside it as if I were at home (although in a slightly strange house). Something similar happens to some people with Proust's In Search of Lost Time. They are those works with which you can connect or they can seem the most boring thing in the world. Personally, I find Proust tedious. I know people who love him, but I, no matter how hard I tried, could never get past the middle of the first volume. I love poetry; glad to know I'm not the only one who mentioned poetry books; either that or also that you were in poetic stream.
Thanks for the elucidation @agreste. I'll have to revisit and compare the two !PIZZA !ALIVE
