Apparently the trick with Ulysses is to read it aloud. It's more of a prose piece than a novel. You can get the entire thing now as an audio book (which runs to 22 CDs!)
Stuff that's defeated me includes How the Dead Live (Will Self) , and a few of the 'classics' - Rob Roy, War and Peace, Dickens etc.
