That's a good thing to do for most books though. Write in meaning of difficult words or obscure passages to help you on a later reading.

One dude asked a question about Ulysses, granted a question he could just have googled instead of taking the time to post, but still, it gives this site som traffic and posts that actually are about literature. Really don't see what's so horrible about it

Even though i am personally for asking these stupid questions, it can lower the quality of the board.
Inb4 quality was always shit meme

What I did was:
- Get Ulysses
- Get "Ulysses Annotated"
- Read each episode with the notes
- Make annotations
- Read the corresponding chapter on Stuart Gilbert's "James Joyce's Ulysses"
- Think about the chapter after reading all that

Good for you, mate. I would like to congratulate you personally and shake hands with you, but this is the best I can manage at so short notice.
>>7653462
And my copy was not annotated either. If you can't even manage to understand that from my post then I wonder how you did past Nestor.
>>7653411
I think Ulysses Annotated is a tad distracting for a first time reader but if it works for you that's cool I guess.
Thoughts on the Gilbert book?
