Finnegans Wake appreciathreadion!
« on: September 14, 2011, 10:16:34 am »

So, I've recently been reading James Joyce's Finnegans Wake- struggling through is really the right word. I'm on about page 40. Anybody else in the process of getting through?

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

I will in a while.  I'm legendarily the only person in an entire world history course who could make head, tail, or dog of the first page.

And yeah, it's a bit of a confusion.
