There is some Joyce that is approachable. I'm not sure I'd recommend _Ulysses_ for the reading group.
There's a lovely story where Joyce encounters a friends during one of his walks. _Ulysses_ had just been published, and Joyce asked his friend's opinion of the book. "I've only read it five times!", responded the friend. "I shall have to read it at
least five more times to give you and opinion!" "Why, man", replied Joyce, "Didn't you at least think it was
funny?"
