I'll read it when I'm done with some of the books I'm reading now, thank you.

Also, yeah, my impression from reading people writing about Finnegan's Wake is that it's not in the least random, it is an insanely calculated book where every word has about 10 different reasons to be where it is, some of which you won't get unless you understand Russian puns on the etymology of Latin phrases.

Smoking Crow posted:The story with Joyce is that he wrote 10 words a day and agonized over how to arrange them. There's a cool joke story about this and you mucked it up!

Captain Mog posted:Oh I'm sure it's not random. Joyce is a wonderful writer. I just have to wonder whether Joyce himself would've laughed at everyone writing theses and guides about this thing. I bet he would've. I think he would've thought it's good and tehn got back to writing incestuous poop stories to his wife.

I just got Finnegans Wake and Tristram Shandy in my delivery from amazon and I looked in FInnegans Wake and one of the first names mentioned is SIr Tristram so I feel I should read Tristram Shandy first just in case that is related and I can get this one reference at the start.
