7 Things I like About Reading James Joyce

I came across the Dubliners by James Joyce today. I read it a decade ago.

1. The stories

He can turn the mundane into mesmerizing stories.

He can paint the most complex scene with words. A true craftsman!

3. The poetry in the prose

To me, his choice of words is poetic. Sentences flow and rhyme like poetry.

4. Serendipity

You dont know how you will feel as you turn the pages. You think you know what will happen until you don't.

5. The jokes

He is funny.

6. The dialogues

Deep and shallow, you can hear him talking to himself. Fascinating life!

7. Self-awareness

I become more self-aware as I peruse the pages. He makes little tiny details of life shine.
