I guess, now we know that James Joyce is not for me ( )

I read it for school... is that enough explanation? I think James Joyce is a lovely writer and there is so much in his stories that you have to look for, but I just didn't like this one. I'm not a huge fan of short stories to begin with, but this one was especially disappointing. ( )

Eveline is a short story taken from the volume "The Dubliners". A young woman has the chance to leave her hard, miserable life in Dublin behind and go to South America with a young man who loves her. When she is at the port, about to enter the ship to Buenos Aires, she decides in the last moment not to leave and stay in Ireland; her boyfriend is forced to travel without her. In a stream-of-consciousness-technique, Joyce shows the thoughts, memories and feelings of Eveline in order to make the reader understand why she is so reluctant and finally takes this very surprising decision.
