Depends on my mood. There are times where the classics like Edgar Allan Poe are enjoyable to me. Ulysses is not enjoyable at any moment to me. Detective genres like Sherlock Holmes are usually more 'fun'.

I have tried many times, but I have never gotten past page 3 of Ulysses. I feel like an idiot. On the other hand, I enjoyed every story in The Dubliners.

It isn't you. Ulysses is written to be analyzed by people forced to do so who have picked Literature as a method of self-torture.
