I'm starting Ulysses.
Comments, advice, etc, welcome. Joe-the-Math-guy, Jana-who-Creates and I are going to meet regularly on the telephone to discuss it regularly.
I would love to post law student/mom/mathematician insights on the book as a regular thing, but we will see if that happens.

If you really want to get people's attention, you could comment on the last fifty pages first.
Wow. After slogging through Madame Bovary, too. I'm impressed.
I was assigned "Ulysses" in a comparative literature class in college. Even the professor admitted that it was long and treacherous, and had us skip 4 or 5 chapters.
All I remember is that James Joyce plus 4th year engineering course load was an unsolvable equation for me. I punted on the novel, retaining only "Yes Yes Yes," but have no shame for referencing it obliquely in our blog name.
Also: This bldgblog post made me go, "Huh." Might be a useful way to think about the book.
