What an accomplishment and an inspiration! I am in awe. Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in on my TBR list for early 2014, but after reading about Ulysses I dismissed even the possibility that I would have a clue what I would be reading. Still...it does seem to be some sort of rite of passage for the dedicated reader. I didn't have any trouble with Dubliners once I sort of maybe got Joyce's style and what he was trying to convey (maybe), but it seems that book is a mere kindergarten to his later books.
