Smart, good-looking people like Joyce;  others don't.  Seriously, I think
people who don't mind thinking as they read, work at it, etc. like Joyce,
also people who have a "traditional" education get more out of it, as they
see the allusions, etc.  If you don't have that broad, classic,
background, read the new edition of the Joyce bio out, to get a sense
of his times, where he was coming from, etc.  Richard Ellimann,
oops, Ellman (emabarrassing mental block) is the author.

People who like books like gravity's rainbow (tomes) can make it
through Joyce.  It takes endurance, to be sure.
