he would probably consider Ulysses his magnum opus. in ambition, if nothing else. A Portrait of the Artist... which was mentioned, is considered (among) his best work, in reception.
haven't read either Finnegan's Wake or Ulysses (but did Chamber Music) & rate him highly.
m'yea... The Sisters, Araby, Eveline, A Little Cloud, A Painful Case ( -- thought you woulda liked the last two) & The Dead. Dubliners is a great book.
read Lord of the Flies twice, about 6 years apart, before realising how good it was.
in a nutshell: revisit.
add. @
oats i'll wait a year and a bit then, also... though that number/age feels a bit arbitrary.
