It's a good article but I'm not sure there actually is a "starting point" for Joyce's prose. Way back in my wild and crazy days, I was going to take a 22/hour Greyhound Bus ride from Milwaukee, Wisconsin to San Antonio, Texas. I went into a Milwaukee bookstore to get a long book to read. I chose "Ulysses" and read the bulk of it during the next full day. I have read it several times since and dip into it frequently. That's probably the best way. Like going for a swim in cold water, it is best to plunge right in at the start.

Ulysses is a load of bollocks. Beloved by people who want others to think they are smartypants.
I may take up book reviewing.

Sometimes. What I meant was , because I read the book james joyce by richard ellmann. In the index it refers to james joyce as simply j. Because I guess it would be too much trouble to have his full name typed too many times.

What did the original post say? For me it is blank. I dunno why. It said: sometimes.

Dubliners. That's all anyone really needs to read.
Portrait of the Artist is trash.
Ulysses is alright, but overrated.
Finnegans Wake is a wankfest.

2 of those books are rated 2 of the best of the 20th century.
But I wouldn't read them, I don't think they're for me.
