Joyce Concordance
From Language Hat comes a link to this searchable concordance to James Joyce's works. Lots of fun. As reported in the comments, the famous phrase "He read on, seated calm above his rising smell" is going to be a popular search. My second search in Ulysses was for "potato" and not surprisingly, the results themselves are a kind of found poetry:

Read Andrew Sullivan's
long meditation on Abu Ghraib. Sullivan was a strong supporter of the
war, and has always made the best case for it, when he wasn't obsessing
on the "America-hating left." It looks like these guys have lost his
support, and he makes a good, if obvious, case for the incompetence of
this crowd and the way they've managed this whole thing. For the
Bushie's supposed lofty ideals in invading Iraq to have worked,
virtually everything would have had to go right. But very little has;
as I wrote very early in the game, when you build something on a
foundation of lies, it's hard to expect good to come from it.
