Wait a minute now! I've read both Finnegan's Wake and Ulysses. In fact
I've read Ulysses several times, it's one of my top 5 favorite books. I
don't believe that the nice boys and girls on this list haven't gotten past
Dubliners and Portrait of the Artist in their explorations of Joyce (you
have looked into JJ haven't you? Of course you have!).
Certainly these are not "easy" books, but they're so very wonderful. If you
don't feel up to the "big books" I would recommend Anthony Burgess' essays
on JJ called ReJoyce.
Soon I'll start carrying on about Pynchon....
