It's is a portrait of THE artist as a young man.

If you are going to lie on the Internet about reading James Joyce, at least get the title of the book right.

A Voyage to Arcturus:

It's shit. It's stoner-tier pseudo-philosophical rambling and "surreal" imagery. The only reason it has a good reputation is because it's old.

The Long Midnight Of Barney Thomson. It was lame. I just can't find interesting novels nowadays. They're all either about normies or beta cucks.

"The Road." This is actually the first fiction novel I've read since that shit was mandatory in high school. Most of the time, I'm just reading reference material related to independent studies.

It would be difficult for me to get into fiction in general, because I'm really particular about themes and genres. The only reason I picked this book up was because I'm really interested in post-apocalyptic settings.

Your problem is that it is a shitty book that only autistic D&D nerds like. I liked some high-fantasy back when I was a child but I honestly can't stand it now, it's all so fucking cringey and cliched.

I was actually considering this. I'll probably hunt down a cheap copy the next time I get some funds in my PayPal account. My local area doesn't have any bookstores that aren't exclusively Christian-themed, so online is pretty much my only means of buying new media.

Any post-apocalyptic fiction you would recommend, though?

I've only recently got into him but I'm a big fan of his writing and he makes hard philosophy and ideological discussion very accessible with all his references to pop culture. He's always great to listen to as well.
