Read Dubliners but didn't think it was anything too special. Nice prose and comfy stories but didn't real hit home with me.
Is this any better? If so what should I read before hand? Surely there aren't as many allusions as in Ulysses is there?

not a lot of references outside of Irish politics you can google in 5 seconds and my penguin edition is fucking bogged down with endnotes anyways.
just read it today anon :)

is the edition in pic related ok? Got it a used book sale cheap but its pretty old

It's very good. More stylistically interesting than Dubliners, but nowhere near as involved as Ulysses. Just get an edition with some notes and you're good. Intro-level college students read this, probably some high schoolers too.

Go ahead and jump in, Irish schoolkids handle it just fine.

It's probably fine. There's nothing that should totally stop you. Some blatant references you might want to search online. The only foreseeable issue is if you know nothing about Christianity.
