Yes, I know Dubliners is suppose to be different, but "Once bitten, Twice shy."

Dubliners is quite different. I started it once, but found the first few pages so dull I gave it the toss. I might just be done with that era of writing in general.
I am twice bitten, forever shy when it comes to sinking any more of my time into Joyce. I also think Joyce is a better choice for the literary club as opposed to the regular book club. But that's just my opinion and obviously not with the majority.
