Explications
aulsmith : Much better than Finnegin's Wake. I'm not a big fan, but I do re-read parts from time-to-time.
kceccato: I don't dispute Joyce's importance to literature, but his style is not to my taste. If I have to read him, I'll read his short stories.

Morphidae : It was incredibly painful.
: I reread passages frequently... though I feel there should be free therapy sessions or support groups that focus on the consequences of reading this book the first time. It really does hurt.

AnnaClaire : I won't pretend I'd recommend reading it, but it was painless enough.
aulsmith: I already read the book he used as his starting place and that was a bad enough time waster.
annus_sanctus: Never understood people believing all the lies in that book
-pilgrim- : It is fun to read in the "so bad it's hilarious" category

aulsmith : Okay, you can't read it cover-to-cover, but it's fun in the old one that's arranged by topic to look through the classification system and read through some of the topics. Maybe you have to be a librarian.
