[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, I'm a literature nerd, a former English Lit major, and I never read much Joyce. Just didn't like it, didn't like the utter opaqueness of everything. So I didn't read him. But I love good story telling, so I read things with good plots. How about George Elliot? Middlemarch is one of my favorites. Or Virginia Woolf - Orlando is a kind of trashy romp, but something like To The Lighthouse is literary but lovely to read. Would echo To Kill a Monkingbird. Some scary weird wonderful stuff would be Clockwork Orange, Nineteen Eighty Four, or Farenheight 451. Another favorite is Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Nele Hurston. Really, if you try it and hate it, move on. There are wonderful classics out there that you'll love.[/quote] Not OP, but relieved to hear this. I consider myself well read but never could get into Joyce for the opaqueness. Thanks for confirming it's not just my lack of intellect.[/quote]
