I just picked it up and its massive, bigger than any books Ive ever read and I’m a little intimidated by it to be honest lol. I heard it was really dense and I was thinking is there a technique to this? Someone told me that these kinds of books arent really meant to be read head on, that you kind of have to take them in sections ? Not sure let me know what you think
I think I’d plan to read it twice (unless I hate it): The first time, just read and keep reading. Don’t keep putting the book down to run to the dictionary or despair about how it’s going. Just push through. The second time, try to stay tuned into the meaning and subtext. I’m hoping to use that technique with Ulysses. Famous last words, perhaps…
