Ulysses by James JoyceRead about a work of humor on the list.
Playing with the boundaries of what is grammatically correct, Joyce departs from normal convention to experiment with stream of consciousness, vocabulary, and creative punctuation.
Ulysses is on the list of George Vecsey's six favorite books, Nina MacLaughlin's top ten list of dirty old (literary) men, John Mullan's lists of the ten of the best parodies, ten of the best Hamlets in literature, ten of the best visits to the lavatory, and ten of the best vegetables in literature. Unsurprisingly, it appears on Frank Delaney's top ten list of Irish novels and five best list of books about Ireland.
