Just bought Joyce's Dubliners, The Potrait of Artist As Young Man and Ulysses from Everyman's Library. Did I fuck it up? What an I in for /lit/?
it sounds like you've procured the first three of joyce's major works
this gives you the option to read them chronologically
they're definitely joyce
enjoy
For a short story collection, a coming-of-age novel and one of the most wide-ranging novels in the English language. The former two are also useful to understand (more of) the latter.

It's not available in Everyman's Library catalog or else I'd have bought that as well.

I think that comment was a joke given that FW is pretty much impenetrable
You did great, I'd say read them chronologically but at least make sure you've read Portrait before starting Ulysses. I did that and now I'm reading Dubliners alongside Ulysses and enjoying it immensely although the styles are very different.
you dun gud. all three are amazing in their own right. plus those everyman's hardcovers are sexy as fugg

Can you please post a picture?
I love the way the Everyman's Library books look.
I only have Ulysses from them and the others ( Dubliners and Potrait) do not look as pretty.
I want to see them together.
