《尤利西斯》是愛爾蘭現代主義作家詹姆斯·喬伊斯於1922年出版的長篇小說。小說以時間為順序，描述了主人公，苦悶彷徨的都柏林小市民，廣告推銷員利奧波德·布盧姆於1904年6月16日一晝夜之內在都柏林的種種日常經歷。喬伊斯選擇這一天來描寫，是因為這一天是他和他的妻子諾拉·巴奈克爾首次約會的日子。小說的題目來源於希臘神話中的英雄奧德修斯，而《尤利西斯》的章節和內容也經常表現出和荷馬史詩《奧德賽》內容的平行對應關係。利奧波德·布盧姆是奧德修斯現代的反英雄的翻版，他的妻子摩莉·布盧姆則對應了奧德修斯的妻子帕涅羅佩，青年學生史蒂芬·迪達勒斯對應奧德修斯的兒子忒勒瑪科斯。喬伊斯將布盧姆在都柏林街頭的一日遊蕩比作奧德修斯的海外十年漂泊，同時刻畫了他不忠誠的妻子摩莉以及史蒂芬尋找精神上的父親的心理。小說大量運用細節描寫和意識流手法構建了一個交錯凌亂的時空，語言上形成了一種獨特的風格。《尤利西斯》是意識流小說的代表作，並被譽為20世紀百大英文小說之首，每年的6月16日已經被紀念為「布盧姆日」。

There are two and a half (almost three reasons) why this book is the Mount Everest of English literature. 1. If you are not Irish and/or Catholic you will not know half the references; 2. If you are not educated and well read, you will not know the other half; 3. Joyce experimented hard and heavy! #3 also makes it absolutely worth reading!

The book is vulgar and almost impossible to follow, at least in audio form. It jumps around, and the narrator is constantly using metaphors involving bodily waste, bodily fluids, and other unpleasant imagery. What anyone could see in this book mystifies me. I also don't understand how ReadGeek recommended it to me, based on other books I've rated. I'm very disillusioned with the ReadGeek recommender algorithm. As a software engineer, I understand how such algorithms are supposed to work, and I consider this a blunder of the first water.
