Better? Highly debatable. More stubborn? Quite possibly. I have read Ulysses 3 or 4 times over the years, the first as a college course. The professor advised us on day one that there would be many things we did not understand, and the trick was to just keep on reading regardless.

As well as this served me with Ulysses, it was essential with Finnegan's Wake . . . which makes the former read like Dick and Jane.
