I think I just don’t like Joyce’s writing style; it’s clear there are many interesting ideas at play, but it was hard for me to sift through the language to find them.
Also, I though the ending was anticlimactic.

el tío Colm de Derry Girls y James Joyce son la misma persona y nadie me puede hacer cambiar d opinión.
Gracias cátedra de Literatura y cultura europeas II por hacerme descubrir que leer el capítulo 3 de ésta novela puede entrar tranquilamente en el top 3 de peores torturas de la historia de la humanidad.

"Et ignotas animum dimittit in artes," Ovid, Metamorphoses, VIII., 18(3). /And he set his mind to work upon unknown arts. Las traducciones al español del Retrato del Artista Adolescente no presentan el epígrafe del original en inglés - referido erróneamente VIII.,18. en lugar de VIII.,183.- que a su vez no concluye el verso (naturamque nouat /and alters nature). Y ahora tendremos que leer la historia de Dedalus contada por Ovidio... (? LOL). Así con los grandes textos que son punto de partida a miles de caminos. Concluida la lectura de Dubliners y Stephen Hero, iniciamos la de este reputado punto de partida para la cabal comprensión de la obra joyceana. O, I will apologise...

Boring. Really didn't hold my attention. Loved Colin Farrell's voice, though.

I didn't understand much of it. It was probably my fault I didn't enjoy it, not Joyce's. I did enjoy the Hell sermon. Try again when I'm less distracted.
