James Joyce's Ulysses: A Book Report

For what little actually happened, the book could have been a bit shorter. He lost me at times, but the crux of the biscuit is this:

Stephen - Telemachus loaned Malachi his hanky, two cents for beer, handed him a key, suffered agenbite of inwit, and got drunk.

Leopold - Ulysses grilled a kidney, fed his cat, bought some soap, sat and read on the 'loo, commited an act of self-love and pondered The Suitors.

Molly - Penelope said "rocks," dreamed of sexual intercourse, and answered several times in the affirmative.
