@TryingtoLava Nah, Finnegans Wake is a lot harder. Like impossible unless you speak twelve languages and are familiar with most literature written over the past 3000 years.
@LeopoldBloom yaaa but ulysses uses every kinda way to write like every chapter thats why the end has nooo punctuation or correct grammar i mean look at the last 4 words its the entire story! Freekin amazing i didnt read it on my own ofc i took a JC class on joyce cuz i loved Dubliners and we went like word for word

@TryingtoLava Ulysses definitely takes some dedication, but it's worth it. However one English professor I had said Finnegans Wake crosses the line of not having a payoff worth the effort you have to put in to understand it. OK, time is a river? Endless recurrence? You can read Jorge Luis Borges if you want that and he's accessible at whatever level you approach him.
