OK, I'm reading this because I have to read something by James Joyce due solely to his reputation as the greatest English language writer. I slogged through about a 1/3 of "Ulysses", and just couldn't finish it without an encyclopedia in hand. Too much hard work. Giving this a go to see if he can write as well as he's acknowledged, AND be a bit more accessible. We'll see.
