I can't agree strongly enough. It's a great book! Have you read Ulysses?
I'm currently making my way through Plutarch. For readers with a yen for ancient Greece and Rome, it's fun stuff.
I have read Ulysses. I do love me some Joyce. Portrait is the reason why Angela's Ashes by Frank McCourt was so good for me. It had this odd way of taking me back to when I was 14. If you haven't read Angela's Ashes, it's a Pulitzer winner that deserved every bit of that award.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
