HA! Did the same with Finnegan's Wake - it was my first (and only) attempt at reading JJ - there are so many great classic authors, why would I (or anyone) waste valuable time on Joyce?

Even a lot of Jouyce fans can’t read FW. Read Dubliners or Portrait of the Artist...

Don’t read Finnegan’s Wake - that’s the most inaccessible novel of Joyce’s. Start with Portrait of a Young Man. Or The Dead.
