I loved Clockwork Orange when I was a teenager, but I found it a bit juvenile when I went back to it last year.
Ulysses is among the most important books in modernity, and my joint favourite book (with Finnegans Wake). I cannot recommend Ulysses enough, but I will say it's not the easiest read ever. The closing, grammarless, vertigenous reverie puts the beats and Miller to shame. His portamentoinvention is only paralleled by Shakespeare, and infinitely less useful.
