Did not expect this to hit so hard

Okay so I'm not usually big on audiobooks but a friend insisted I try this. Three chapters in and I was completely sold. Ulysses is genuinely well-made — the content, the pacing, all of it.

Listened twice — both times were worth it

Found this on Unodio and wasn't expecting much. Two hours later I was still going. James Joyce doesn't waste your time with filler — every chapter earns its place.

Better than I thought it would be

I've been listening during my evening walks and Ulysses has been the highlight of my week honestly. There's a section in the middle where it all just comes together — gave me chills.

This one stayed with me for days

What I appreciate most is that James Joyce doesn't talk down to you. The ideas are complex but explained in a way that respects your intelligence. Really rare.
