WOW! You are trying to read Ulysses? A fascinating read, although I never got to finish it. I had to return it to the library. It is a very strong example of a stream of consciousness, satisfies any desire for randomness, I can assure you. Full of allusions, a bit of some racy stuff that brought raised eyebrows when it first got published, and overall either absorbing or good for bedtime. :)

Your work is an eerily cold mixture of compassion and things that go bump in the night. On the whole, your writing style puts me in mind of Caitlin R. Kiernan, whom I strongly believe you should go out and read if you haven't (try "Silk"). Everything here is painfully beautiful, a veritable spiderweb of lust for both life and death. Incredible, disturbing, chilling to read. Wonderful job.
