Ulysses is the kind of book people read just so they can tell other people that they read it.

I’ve never met anyone who has done that, this sounds like the kind of thing someone would say just to put people down.

You are saying this in a thread full of people who are telling everybody else in it that they've read it. And these people should be put down

Could you clarify what you’re saying? It sounds like you’re saying that you have some kind of moral obligation to insult people who say that they have read Ulysses.

That’s my first reading of your comment, but I don’t think it’s correct, because it’s just such a dumb thing to say.

It’s a thread about the book Ulysses. You don’t like the book, go to a different thread.

Incorrect, its a book for people that like farts.
