James Joyce - Ulysses 1 word at a time

[Jamthonzi3000]

Like this if you've read Italo Calvino's 'If on a winter's night a traveler' and know why it might be relevant.

That was only to page 27 >.>

lol, literature trying to be tv doesn't work. you can't just fire words into peoples' retinas, absorbing ulysses fully takes time

[CLAPPOZAPPO]

I dosen't even get as far to introducing Bloom. Now Stephen will think he's the main character.

Anyone with basic arithmetic skills could see that this couldn't possibly be real: you would need nearly 1500 words a second to get through Ulysses in three minutes, and, aside from it being quite widely known that the last word is "yes" it would be hard for somebody to believe that the last word is "don't".

Lol Barely got into Episode 2. It wouldn't be able to fit contransmagnificandjewbangtant­iality anyhow.

At 30 FPS it would take over 2 hours to finish the book.

Literature for the postmodern child. I knew it was coming but I dreaded it. Now I might have to kill myself.

[Tabla461]

do it

[derstahlmann]

you suck ass

[jazzmanEE]

Incomplete..the final word in the book is "yes"

[Huddiethegreat]

that saved me some time

[czgibson]

Clearly this is incomplete!

There I was, waiting for the 'yes'!

[TomBlurZ]

Once he turns it on to go really fast stare at the words and try to absorb as much as possible. After about 40 seconds my whole screen started to shake it was so creepy!!

[laqerhill]

i was looking for the word "scrotumtightening"...

I think I found it.

And it sounds hilarious in the audio preview.

[Nowekian]
