Book #11 A Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce

Essentially an autobiography of James Joyce growing up. Not a great novel by itself but contains a taste of stream of consciousness writing, had great descriptions, of hell for example, and contains well-written, well-developed passages on various topics. Should be a good intro to Joyce’s famous “Ulysses” as it introduces the reader to the main character and to Joyce’s bizarre writing style.
