Query:
Is there any actual merit at all (literary or otherwise) in James Joyce's Portrait of an Artist?
Discuss.
(we found a nest of baby rabbits to-day while picking up trash along Oriental Road. Baby rabbits, and one slithery garter snake that Maria almost stepped on, whispering over the leaves down the bank.)

Obviously they're there, because somebody found them. Even if I don't agree with them, they're there. So! Thank you. ^_^
He still sucks to read aloud, though. >_>

Um, pointless aside, here.
