Dubliners
Where I stop with clever introductions.
James Joyce - Dubliners
My next book is written by my friend JJ. More, specifically, James Joyce, who is probably the most influential (read: only) Irish author of all time. His latter works are known for their incomprehensibility (bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnk

I remember reading his stories "Araby" and "The Dead," both of which come from here. I remember enjoying both of those stories, so I think I will enjoy the rest. What I love about joyce is his unique style of writing. Unlike many authors, where I can skim over a paragraph and not lose much, Joyce's style requires me to pa attention to every word, every period he writes. Overall, I am looking forward to this.
I have never heard of James Joyce, but his books seem interesting from what you have said. I was just wondering, what does he normally write about. Judging by the cover and the tittles that you said, I am assuming that he is a realistic fiction author for the most part. Besides this, if he us considered the most influential author of all time, his books are probably good, regardless of what they are about.
