Captain Mog posted:On a more serious note: I do not consider this in any way to be a novel, or even a thing worthy of reading. It is, in essence, a nonsensical litany of letters and (more rarely) words strung together. Not even close to correct. As others have said, check out Joseph Campbell's Skeleton Key (if you can find it). Joyce wasn't kidding or using much hyperbole when he said he intended critics to spend centuries analyzing it. I've been reading it aloud to my one-year-old son for a couple of months now. He loves it, of course. You definitely get a better sense of the word-to-word impact when it's spoken.

gently caress me I only just realized it's a plural and not a possessive. A declarative statement and not a modified noun. Joyce reaches out of his grave to tweak my nose again. How have I managed not to realize that for so many years?!?
