Don't take Ulysses meh. It would really start to get on your tits not understanding vast swathes. Better to take Finnegan's Wake, at least you won't be trying to understand it, and it's endlessly fertile, and in its way hilarious. Although you would go totally insane.

I'd end up smashing What's Going On after a week... there's only so much you can listen to someone talking about how much they like to socialise, when you're stranded on a desert island
Zeta Jones is a decent shout, a great beauty... but I somehow don't find her that sexy... though thinking back I did when she was in Darling Buds, I used to frott myself dizzy.
