Listen, I know that Elektra is supposed to be a classy, well read lady, but is Ulysses really the sort of book that you wanna be reading while doing other stuff? It's not exactly light reading material, that shit requires concentration.

That would be the point. She can read that and concentrate on the briefing simultaneously. It's a literary joke.

(There's a similar joke in an early issue of the Byrne/Claremont X-Men where Banshee is shown yawning after having reread Finnegan's Wake, which is one of the most inaccessible texts in the Western canon. It's meant to show that he's erudite, well-read, and intelligent.)
