When it comes to the genre of "ordinary people living out their everyday lives", I am a fan of the concept, but more often than not, not a fan of reading it. You see, when you decide to have 0 plot, I need that to be compensated for by character, emotion or reflection. And to me, Dubliners doesn't really have any of that. It doesn't mean that it's a bad book, it just means that I'm easily bored by this type of book.
