OK, sometimes Joyce catches me unawares and I laugh.

Thank goodness, or I don’t think I could finish Finnegans Wake. I’ve passed page 500, though, so things are looking good. The section between page 400 and page 500 was a little faster going because there were long passages where the words were real words. I still couldn’t understand the sentences and don’t know what happened, but at least I could read the words.
