If you don't mind audiobooks, here's one way (well, two ways) to listen to Ulysses:

Just in case people consider this seriously, I just want to add my two cents: Ulysses although is prose, it's so much more of a poetry than prose compared many other novels. I personally don't think listening to someone's reading of Ulysses will be remotely similar to reading it on page. Some of the chapters are really almost entirely about discovering how to read this chapter. I don't necessarily think it's bad, just the same way you can listen to poetry by going to a poetry reading session, you can listen to Ulysses. Just note that it's going to be an entirely different experience than reading it, and it will likely forever bias your interpretation of the book. Just my humble two cents, I don't claim to know anything.

You can listen to the man himself reading it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhW0TrzWGmI

It's meant as pure lyrical poetry. Reading it aloud is like dancing with your tongue instead of feet.

What a surreal take. Poetry differs from prose in that it relies much more heavily on being spoken aloud.

Why not both? Listen and read along.

The best reading I've found is from Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), Ireland’s national public-service broadcaster. [1] It's treated more as a play, one part per actor. It's special - my closest other experience is watching Shakespeare.

I'm doing "subtitles" for Ulysses right now. Combo physical book and audio book while I read.
