>girl tells me she reads a lot
>ask her what her favorite authors are

What are the odds she wouldn't even want to read the classics because they're from racist old white men?

Is it sad that joyce has completely mogged all english novelist in terms of skill?
For all the hate the english have for the irish they can't produce a single writer as skilled with their own language as an untrained irish working man.

shakespeare mogs him, but i agree about him dabbing on english novelists.

Here's woolf seething over joyce
>Oh what a bore about Joyce! Just as I was devoting myself to Proust—Now I must put aside Proust—and what I suspect is that Joyce is one of those undelivered geniuses, whom one can’t neglect, or silence their groans, but must help them out, at considerable pains to oneself.
