How would you rank James Joyce's books in terms of difficulty?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 8 08:30:34 2022 No.19710437 >>19710405 Dubliners and Portrait are fairly easy. Only challenging if you don’t read literature. Extensive Irish knowledge makes it seem harder than it is Ulysses and Wake. Schizophrenic gibberish

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 8 13:00:06 2022 No.19711351 >>19710405 1. Finnegans Wake 2. Ulysses 3. Portrait 4. Dubliners.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 8 13:00:57 2022 No.19711354 >>19710405 Yes.

>>	Anonymous Sat Jan 8 13:07:28 2022 No.19711378 I read Potrait after reading Ulysses, and Finnegans. I found there are many references in the latter books explained by the former. Things like street names and school names.
