I punished myself with college courses. Why else would I have endured a whole semester of Milton? Or another focused on the reading of Marx’s Das Kapital? Or later, notwithstanding how charming the Irish professor was, a graduate seminar in James Joyce? I beat myself senseless with books, and that is the simple truth of it.
So, I’m assuming you have read Ulysses in its entirety? It seems a feat that few have accomplished.

Don’t assume that! That particular course broke me…I took an extension and never finished it.

Turning books into items of self-torture. The horror.
