Judging a book by its last 42 pages

“I have not had the time, nor may I add the inclination to read through this book. I have, however, read pages 690 to 732. There is a great deal of unmitigated filth and obscenity.”

-- Sir Archibald Bodkin, British director of public prosecutions, on his 1922 decision to ban James Joyce's "Ulysses" for obscenity. Bodkin's quotes were included in recently released government papers. Quoted by the Associated Press.
