Different versions! That further complicates matters. Just how many versions of this novel are there and more importantly how different are they. And how much difference would that make to a first time reading of the novel? By the way - how did you find the novel on coming back to it after such a long time? Ah! Different versions!

By the way – how did you find the novel on coming back to it after such a long time?

Would suggest begining at the beginning and just plowing through without worrying too much. It helps to have a friend who is doing the same thing at the same time. It also helps to read the New Bloomsday Book before heading into each chapter. Read through perhaps 1/3 of the Ulysses and Us and wasn't very impressed. The author also uses page references to a 1960's Bodley edition which few readers have access to. the conventional text nowadays is the 1984 edition edited by Gabler. This is probably more info than anyone wants but so be it. I just reread Ulysses after a 50 year gap. Would suggest begining at the beginning and just plowing through without worrying too much.
