[quote=Anonymous]I've read almost all of them, including Ulysses and Moby Dick. I liked the hero of Ulysses (Leopold Bloom), but face it, James Joyce is a pretentious bore and so is the Joyce character in Ulysses (Stephen Dedalus) and, let's be honest, Joyce's editor should have had the courage to cut 1/4 of the book which could have been done without doing too much damage to the texture of the whole thing. I read Moby Dick as an adult and actually liked it, and so did DH - you can skip over the whale lore (although we didn't) and Melville had a surprising sense of humor. Maybe the whole obsession thing is more meaningful if you read it as an adult. I haven't read Captain Corelli's violin, but I've read a lot of other recent fiction, like Cutting for Stone and the Life of Pi. I can't say I've read "the complete works of William Shakespeare" although I've read at least a dozen of his (3 dozen?) plays.[/quote]
