Finally finished! It was a tough ride. There were sections I loved and others I really struggled with. Joyce is undeniably talented, the chapter where he walks the reader through the entire history of language proves that. But his style isn‘t my favorite and I frequently felt lost in his ramblings. I‘m glad I read it and I‘m also glad it‘s done! #febbloom
BarbaraBB Congratulations. What an achievement 👍💕 7y
manifestsanity I listened to Portrait of the Artist recently. Thought an Irish narrator would bring it to life. Ditto: struggled. 7y

AvidReader25 @manifestsanity I think the audio definitely helped and I read parts of it in print as well. Still, tough read! 7y
Faibka Congrats! 🎉 I‘m still struggling reading the printed version. What a book! Definitely one of the most difficult books I‘ve read but in my opinion so well worth it so far! 7y
AvidReader25 @Faibka Yes! I‘m putting together my thoughts in a final blog post. 7y
