James Joyce: The Dubliners

I have a 20 or 30 minute shuttle ride for my new job. I'm really enjoying it because it's the perfect opportunity to do a little reading. I stopped by the classics shelves the last time I was at the library and picked up this collection of short stories. I had never read it before and always heard good things.

I really liked this collection. They were lovely snippets of characters and little stories. I liked how each story was just a glimpse and didn't really have a beginning, middle, or end. I, as the reader, was left to make my own decisions and conclusions about the characters. The short stories were also perfect for my shuttle ride.

Have you read this collection? What do you think?

I love the classics. I read his Portrait of the Young Artist and don't remember it so it clearly left an impression!

I just revisted A Brave New World. It was totally different the second time around (might have something to do with the fact that I'm not a teenager anymore and now have a completly different viewpoint)
