“it isn't my favorite joyce, and i only like because i ignore the allusions and focus on the tale”
“ok, where are all the comments. even people who don't read this book, have an opinion about it!”
“I felt the exact same as Zero about Ulysses. The closing chapter by Molly was great, but I really had to force myself to read on. I don't think not liking Ulysses means you didn't understand it, although everyone tells you it is. It just didn't do it for me. ”
“The new features of this page make it impossible to change the edition while they do allow one to add other editions, but now if I add "Gödel, Escher, Bach" and display that as edition, and then go back to Shourie, I get various editions of GEB on the editions page while the top is still saying Ulysses! Shelfari was really far better off with the earlier software. New one has not solved the problem of editions and has added new ones. ”
“Other books (including this one), all equally unsuitably, clubbed together with Ulysses on this page on shelfari here, are:- Missionaries in India ; Continuities, Changes, DilemmasPaperback. Published 2004 by Rupa & Co..Godel, Escher, Bach: An eternal Goldne BraidPaperback. Published 1981 by B000H5HDJE. The Physics of Three Dimensional Radiation Therapy: Conformal Radiotherapy, Radiosurgery and Treatment Planning (Medical Science)Paperback, 388 pages. Published 1993 by 0750302542. Needless to say none of them are anywhere close to the Ulysses or to each other in any way whatsoever, giving all the more the impression that whoever clubbed them together is treating books like potatoes and stones lumped together for use as paperweights. But shelfari is a site supposedly for books and readers and ought not to let this happen. It couldn't be that difficult, after all, to automatically separate the books by titles and authors and only lump them together as editions if the two fields match, in this era of computer sophistication and ease. ”
