>>81911390Do you consider Ulysses slop? I'm having a blast with it, it's really funny and there's a lot of great tidbits strewn throughout the book. A Portrait of the Artist was a bit of a slog to grt through, young Stephen was obnoxious, but in hindsight that was the entire point. What books do you recommend that aren't slop in your opinion? I reread Blood Meridian a few weeks ago and i plan on reading Gargantua and Pantagruel next. I'm skipping finnegan's wake, at least for now, since it just seems too dense.
