Delirium: Good luck with Finnegan’s. Even my smartest friends from college gave it up in their book group. Joyce was running on fumes then; self-exiled,half-blind, starving (constantly borrowing money from his brother Stanislaus) and drinking too much. His daughter, Lucia, was allegedly a schizophreniac. His wife, a former chambermaid and not much of an intellectual, was sexually fun, tho. Read Joyce’s letters to her…quite pornographic and enlightened for that prudish era. Joyce’s Letters to Nora Barnacle
@Dog; ibook will make you cross-eyed. Just get drunk today and take book out of library…a good compromise.
@Rob: Same advice. Read real text (it is one of the most famous eight sentences in English literature. Then you can announce to all your literary friends that you read it.) Or have the love-of-your-
life read it outloud.
