My sister spent a lot of time studying Irish literature while getting her master's in creative writing. She had a really hard time with Joyce at first, she hated him - and my sister is very smart, there's no doubt about that. But, by being forced to read almost all of his works, she finally just gave in and came to really love him. She had a similar experience with Ernest Hemingway, lol.
