It took me four attempts to read Ulysses. It was only after I gave up trying to make it, make sense, that I was able to enjoy it. Finnegans wake however still escapes me.
Thanks for the shout out. When you get to Ulysses, you may want to check out my article on the infamous Nighttown chapter. Although it's technically outside your twenty years, I believe it still gets cited occasionally. https://www.jstor.org/stable/26285163
Ulysses broke me, I have to admit; whereas, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man was exhilarating. Intelligent and curious high-schoolers should read Dubliners on their own (as should most undergraduate university students).
