Hilarious post, thank you for the chuckle.

I have read Finnegan's Wake and find it to be an amazing book, deeply moving and insightful and a real flex of writing accomplishment. It's also very tough and I've heard folks say it takes years to read the books necessary to have the right context to read it. I generally don't like this kind of thing -- read whatever you want when you want! but it's hard to argue that most people who enjoy FW have more context and are able to enjoy the layers more fully than those with less shared literary context.
