If you are looking for a beast of a summer read, Ulysses by James Joyce is a great place to start today. The epic modern novel plays out the life of Leopold Bloom on one day in Dublin. Now this is not for everyone and has been tagged with issues of censorship and complexity ever since its original serialized publication in the US. Even, I must admit I’ve read it in segments -segmentation of the storytelling makes it easier to approach- over the years but never in one reading. It is an amazing piece of 20th Century literature and you should give it a look.
