Feb. 26th, 2003 07:40 amWhew. I've been insanely busy so far today, and have not had a moment for anything until now. And even now I don't have many moments...
Anyhow, I am of course still reading Ulysses. I'm now in the middle of chapter 12, the "Cyclops" episode, which I'm enjoying immensely. I'm finding that the degree to which I enjoy a particular chapter corresponds directly with the amount of uninterrupted time that I am able to spend reading it. Most of the time, I read whenever I can in snatches of varying length. I might be able to read for an hour, or it might only be two minutes. That really doesn't work with Ulysses, however, and when I try to read that way I just wind up not enjoying the chapter. I really didn't like Chapter 11, and I think it's because I read too much of it in this way. Now I'm reading Chapter 12, which I did not like the first time I read the book, and I think it's great--just because I've had a chance to sit down and devote an hour to it all at once. I guess I'll have to make a special effort to that for the rest of the book.
