Me too. I am about to turn 30 and I believe I read it last in the 5th grade. This is truly a beautiful literary passage. Thanks for the post Mr. M.

You read Ulysses in 5th grade. What the hell school were you in, The Doogie Howser School of Sado Masichistic English Teachers.
I slogged through Ulysses in a 300 Level Honors English Couse in College and could barely comprehend it much less enjoy it. I have a feeling that fifty years from now the whole academy will take their collective heads out of their collective behinds and say, "You know what we just shitting all of you. Writers like Proust, Joyce and Pynchon were all really just a crock trying to make you feel insignificant and stupid."
Of course that is just my opinion. I could be wrong.
