[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP once more. Take James Joyce. I look at Ulysses, and think What the hell? But, I should read it, right? [/quote] You don't just randomly read Joyce. It is no joke. I would read about 25 others before anything by him. [/quote] I remember vividly in my "introduction to Occidental Civilization" class in college, my professor told us that so much of Joyce was never meant to be read without a college, if not post graduate degree to truly understand it. That convinced me that I did to need to attempt it myself. I'm reading Mrs. Dalloway at the moment and love it. I'd start out with gripping and easy if I were you. PPs have excellent lists. Don't forget about the great writers of the west! Wallace Stegner's angle of repose is an all-time favorite. [/quote]
