Books by author: James Joyce

I did not enjoy Dubliners as much as I did A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, most likely because I tend to be a better reader of novels than of short stories.

A good, though at times hard to follow, read. "I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use—silence, exile, and cunning."
