I am trying to read Portrait of an Artist as a Young Man right now, but the 19th century Irish-isms keep kicking me off the flow. I can't concentrate on the story with so many unknown words, people and events.

There are explanatory notes, but reading them precludes immersion, and not reading them precludes comprehension.
