I'm reading Northanger Abbey right now, and, while I enjoy it, I'm wishing I could read it for pleasure, rather than for a class. I am glad you are reading Ulysses. I haven't read it, but I've heard many good things about it. I am rather a fan of modernist works (Eliot's The Wasteland tops my list), so I'm a bit biased in that vein. I read Joyce's short fiction "The Dead" about a year ago, and fell in love with it. I hope Ulysses is a fulfilling experience for you.
