I always hear about this Joyce guy on this board, so I finally decided to borrow Ulysses from my local library.

If you want stylistic and succinct short stories, give Raymond Carver a go.

"no"

Also, Joyce's style really reaches it's full power on Ulysses

Was disappointed with Portrait

I'd say I can name 5/6 better writers based on Portrait alone

I think Portrait is definitely Joyce's least impressive work (even though it's still damn impressive imo)
