I really just read this as a challenge for myself. I would say if you read the first page and hate it, don't continue.

I... got a few nice commonplace quotes out of this book but I don't think I loved the experience. And truly with the amount of words Joyce just made up, did he really have to use so many slurs? Ough.

(Aside from the racial slurs, any content warnings I'm giving are basically purely my interpretation of certain parts. Shrug.)
