I'm starting to read James Joyce's "Ulysses" and as a joke I think it would amuse me to hear someone with a response to this. It took me an hour to read 4 pages around the 40 page mark as I had to look up 6 words ( 2 in German) and 2 french phrases to go along with his cryptic allusions and intermittent abstraction. I also had to read about consubstantiation and a completely made up musing of a word in "contransmagnificandjewbang" A record patience for me was displayed as usually I end up putting the book if its over my head, but I'll keep at it.
(sigh)
