The most fascinating treat here is the landmark recording of James Joyce reading selections from Ulysses. This rare recording was made in 1924, and Joyce's reading provides the singular experience of hearing the work as he intended it to be read." Website includes audio samples.

Ulysses tapes, produced with professional actors, by Recorded Books, 140 West 22 St, New York, NY 10011.  Tel 212-243-8070. Toll-free 800-638-1304. (Most of the book is read by Donal Donnelly, but some (principally the <Penelope> episode) is read by Miriam Healy-Louie.   Apparently they have done their best to track down music where  appropriate and have sung the words where it seemed logical to. The final version is 42 hours 30 minutes long; 30 cassettes.  It might be available in two parts rather than as one great lump.  The purchase price of the recording is $185 for the two-volume version, $195 for the one-volume version.  The only difference between the two versions is that the latter comes in a single box, and the larger box costs more than the two smaller boxes -- the two-volume version has one 18-cassette volume and one 12-cassette volume. The rental price for 60 days is $35.50 plus $4.50 postage.)
