>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 26 22:27:20 2021 No.18119627 >>18119565 Parts of it are well written but I found the characters to be insufferable. Specifically, Stephan when he goes on his little Irish boy rants about how the devil is going to take his soul

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 26 22:27:57 2021 No.18119629 >>18119627 Which unfortunately takes up about 75% of the book

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 26 22:31:55 2021 No.18119643 >>18119627 >>18119629 Please understand, Joyce was considering entering the seminary to become a priest before a hooker gently raped him underneath a bridge. It took him a whole novel and a half to resolve his issues with Christianity and sin.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 26 22:32:54 2021 No.18119648 >>18119627 I agree. Ulysses wouldn’t be as good if it wasn’t for Bloom.

>>	Anonymous Mon Apr 26 22:39:35 2021 No.18119679 Portrait of AS A the Artist YOUNG James MAN Joyce.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 02:09:28 2021 No.18120566 >>18119643 That's fine, I'm sure that's resonated with some people or else the book wouldn't be as popular as it is. For me, however, Dubliners is infinitely better

>>	Anonymos Tue Apr 27 02:25:25 2021 No.18120611 >>18119565 Chapter V is literally the best chapter in the book. You got filtered. Hard.

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 02:29:04 2021 No.18120624 >>18120611 that smithy of my soul shit was fire

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 02:35:53 2021 No.18120652 >>18119679 That's what you get when you hire one of the most prestigious modern book cover designers to do your cover

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 02:41:19 2021 No.18120677 >>18120658 you haven't even read this book, have you

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 03:08:28 2021 No.18120769 >>18120658 It's a flawed book but its still significantly better than anything Dickens ever wrote

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 03:38:41 2021 No.18120866 >>18120658 don't you dare to mock Dicky

>>	Anonymous Tue Apr 27 03:40:46 2021 No.18120872 >>18120866 >>18120769 >>18120677 You overhype this book. It's nice but it's nothing special.
