The Dubliners is my favorite of Joyce's work. I've read that, Portrait of an Artist..., and parts of Ulysses, and the short stories are the only ones I felt compelled to finish purely out of interest. Joyce is super dense, and there's a lot of other reading to be done if you're not enjoying it. Dubliners is, in my mind, fantastic. Especially The Dead, as you have already stated.
