The final chaper "Penelope" or Molly Bloom's soliloquy is just beautifully written and makes the whole book worth keeping in my opinion. Molly was a sensual, sexual woman in a time when women were not acknowledged to be so. Molly has been unfaithful (unlike Penelope) but she re-discovers her love for her husband. This part recalls when Leopold first proposed to her.

This is one of the most beautiful pieces ever written in the English language, thank you very much for posting it.
I generally concur about
Ulysses though... I find it can be a definite slog, not unlike
War and Peace.
I plan to post something else later, so as to retain the spirit of the thread, but I've a splitting headache just now, so it will have to wait
