James Joyce's classic. Has anyone ever gotten through this? I really want to read it but I find it quite challenging. I'm not an English Lit scholar so please bear with me...I'd really love to read it though.

I tried to impress my parents by giving it a crack when I was about 13, but I failed miserably. It inspired me to try "Portrait of the artist..." instead, which was a much more rewarding experience.

I think all honest people are much the same! Just looking at Finnegans Wake makes me break out in a cold sweat, much less attempt to read the damn thing.

I bought a copy of it a long ass time ago and have never attempted to read it even once. I'm too intimidated.

My Dad has it, he's read it...i think I should. I really love a lot of Irish writers so i might attempt this over the summer.

its amazing
i recommend reading 'portrait' first
its easier, you get to know stephen more, adn you get the gist of joyce's writing style

ulysses and finnegans wake are both amazing

joyce is, in my opinion, definatly one of the greatest writers and thinkers of the 20th centry
