Nobody has ever read Finnegan's Wake all the way through.  Not even Joyce.

Quote from: LMNOBTW, William Faulkner bores the crap out of me.

Hilarious
"we are building a religion
we are making a brand
we're the only ones to turn to when your castles turn to sand
take a bite of this apple
mister corporate events
take a walk through the jungle
of cardboard shanties and tents
some people drink pepsi
some people drink coke
the wacky morning dj says democracy's a joke
he says now do you believe in the one big song
he is now accepting callers who would like to sing along"

I AM A COMPLETE AND UTTER FUCKING IDIOT!

I'd sooner read Finnegans Wake any day of the week ahead of Gravity's Rainbow . . . Finnegans Wake doesn't make a lick of sense, but at least its interesting.

With Ulysses & Finnagans wake, I'd prefer to read it annotated, cuz some of the jokes, wordplay and allusions are waaaay above my head.


Yeah, I'll admit I'm not smart enough to notice everything Joyce packed into his books.

I have the Annotated Finnegans Wake, but it seems as hard to understand as the actual text . . . but then again I don't understand 18 languages.

I got a bit farther in Gravity's Rainbow than in Ulysses... and I found it more enjoyable too, so far.

I still prefer "The Crying of Lot 49" though.
