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. Paul (I wish my name was two dactyls) Killey Ann Arbor, MI
