Incidentally if you read Ulysses read it out loud, or at the speed you would talk. Then the rhythms and jokes and connections zing out. Try to speed read it and it is so much mush, which is why so many find it a hard book to read.
And on Orwell when I said good in parts the parts which were good are stunning
A writer which I don't hear spoken about these days, but is among the best writers in english which is even more amazing because I think he only learnt english as an adult, Joseph Conrad. Anything that man touched is pure gold from short stories to epics, which off the top of my head I can't think of an equal in english.
