There's also this online annotated version of the book, which I've been reading when I'm at my computer:
Annotated version
It seems kind of plain and janky--and the multi-colored text make is seem like a crazy person's website about mind control rays--but it's actually really well done and fascinating. The two-letter links aren't actually links...they're annotations; instead of clicking on them, hover your cursor over them and they'll give a bit of background to the word. Also, hover over the line numbers and it'll give you a short summary of the last ten lines.
Also helpful: it looks like a Microsoft Word document, so it's perfect for reading Joyce at the Office.

ReplyDeleteThere's a super stiff Ulysses film
on YouTube. This first section is interesting to watch. I think the actors are about 35.
Another abandoned Ulysses blog: Reading Ulysses for the First Time
ReplyDeleteI will finish this, by Jove. But Stephen's thoughts are so very tiresome.
I feel like I got everything this book has to offer after about a hundred pages. Since the scene at the newspaper office its been a chore to read. Normally, if I'm not enjoying a book I stop reading it and don't worry about it anymore. But, I'm going to finished Ulysses. I'm not going to be defeated by a book as jackass as this one.
ReplyDeleteHere's a free audiobook version of the book:

If you read through the comments, there are a few other versions available as well. Look at the last comment.
Whoops, I thought it automatically made links clickable. Let's try that again: MetaFilter thread.

We're just starting a reading collective to begin tackling Ulysses on Bloomsday this year (June 16th). We'd appreciate any guidance or participation. Check us out here... http://wanderingrox.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteCool blog. Ultimately we had a tough time keeping everyone reading together though I think a compressed schedule may work in your favor. I'll drop by, thanks for letting us know!
