Do: 49 → V. → GR → M&D

dubliners-> portrait -> ulysses -> finnegans wake

it's so obvious it's almost common sense

>>7351805
the main worry was to start with portrait or dubliners desu senpai

>i bought Dubliners , Ulysses and A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

I tried all of these books and they felt like homework. I gave up quickly on all 3.

>>7351805
I did Ulysses → Portrait → Dubliners → Ulysses and have yet to start Finnegans.

Finnegans
Ulysses
Portrait
Dubliners

>they felt like homework
Care to explain? I can see how Ulysses can seem like homework and Dubliners does have a very too-perfect feeling to it but Portrait of the artist would probably be considered good even by the plebbiest YA reader (as long as they have ~artistic ambitions~ of course).

>>7351797
Chronological. There's no other right answer.

>>7351797
what should I read before getting into Ulysses?
It's obvious that A Portrait and the Odyssey are needed, but what else?

>>7353453
Just read it. Do you think that Joyce ever thought 'Am I allowed to read this yet?'

>>7351797
Chronologically. Dubliners -> Portrait -> Ulysses.

>>7353453
dubliners, portrait, ulysses and hamlet, that's the basic stuff.

Uh that's probably all he thought about when he was a teenager honestly.that and hookers.

i've only read dubliners, and desu it put me off of joyce, not because it's a bad book but it was sooo boring. maybe it's just because i don't like various short stories tied in one book(i couldn't finsh the decameron too), but this book really felt as a chore, even though i appreciate what joyce was traying to say and understand that he needed for a book to be structured this way.

Joyce was actually extremely elitest
