Reading Joyce for the first time (Dubliners) and have to say that he's great. The guy's capacity for story telling is amazing. After every story I feel like screaming, "wait, don't stop! I need to know what happens!" He just leaves you lingering in an emotional stupor.

I don't know why, but I feel like this thread it b8.

However, on the chance that you are praising Joyce in earnest, you should check out A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. As a whole, it is flawed, but it's still worth reading.

Not b8, m8. Although, it does read like b8...Not my intention. Portrait is next on the list.

Dubliners is *hugely* different from Portrait, though. And you can basically say it's not the same author who wrote Ulysses.

Absolutely. In my opinion, Portrait is his most poorly written book; that being said, I still love it.

Portrait is my personal favorite work of Joyce's, having read Ulysses first, then Dubliners, then snippets of FW. With a guide, FW is amazing. Portrait really does more than just offer a tale, but honestly gives blueprints for ascension as an artist. It contains the greatest explanation of an author's role in his work, and one that has left an indelible mark on my soul.

Just remember it's okay to cry after reading The Dead.
