The Poor Mouth by Flann O'Brien. A fantastic short satire of Irish life, originally written in Gaelic. Apparently Flann O'Brien was one of the last authors Joyce read before he died, can't shill him enough. Enjoy your birthday

The Demi-Gods by James Stephens. He was one of Joyce's drinking buddies, the books about a gypsy family that meets some angels and then they fuck around in the Irish countryside and get into various shenanigans

I've posted about it once or twice before, but nobody's ever responded to it, so I'm going to go with Omon Ra.
