That wouldn't surprise me, honestly. Joyce's book, though super thin, did NOT grab me at all. It was one of the few discount classics I bought that I gave up reading after 50 pages. I just couldn't get into it.
It also seems to be like the condensed version of what he would write later, the book "Ulysses." SO glad I decided I'd never buy that doorstop. I love to read, but had to finally admit there are many "classic" books I will just NEVER understand the appeal of.
