I'm kind of glad to finish the book. I've found it interesting, but not really entertaining. It seems like a lot of these books were stories told by others. I found I haven't really been using active reading as much, because I just don't think of anything to put down.Isn't it kind of odd to think this whole thing just started with him asking for his mother to be left alone? I was kind of surprised how Ulysses seems to have made up some of his story.
