I surely hope that Ulysses is much better and a more interesting read since everyone told me to read this book here and Dubliners first. Will take a long break before reading anything Joyce however. Very LIGHTLY recommended, only for people who like this type of heavy literature.

Graphic: Bullying, Classism, and Religious bigotry
Moderate: Sexual content

Be aware that the book also discusses poverty, debt, vivid descriptions of hell, dogmatic attitudes, and internal shame.serendipitysbooks's review against another edition

“I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use, silence, exile and cunning” (291)

Stephen has a major Madonna-Whore Complex and while that's definitely an intentional choice for the story it doesn't really get 'resolved' so that might be obnoxious...
