I've read and gone over Ulysses non stop for half a year in college now, and
it's honestly been the best reading and even at times the best life
experience I've had. My professor (who wrote 'Ulysses and Justice') is the
man when it comes to the ins and outs of it. I was wondering, if any of you
would be interested in reading sections of Finnegan's and posting your
thoughts on it

I like your idea about Finnegan's. Let me know when you get the ball
rolling.
J. D. Finch (Another JD, by chance!)
Here's something I wrote last night, after reading some of FW and in the
grip of Joycean fever:
Happy Bloomsday! He writhes to anyall in green in his little oatbark after
some mind-tingle (boast three farce ought four) with Finnegoon's Lake.
Wot! Not Ularses!? Cracks the peedle who no.
Butterhatch yer tuxes, he explodes whilst withering the queerers with a wail
of his wand.
So then its true, he whips to themself, snorkeling bestride the mongous, now
in a very collar and dire hew.
(Remaindering the little phial, he's too much to the pint of "ooof rah rah".
He bespells another tithe and makes him a single dry ambulant, or, in plane
fart: an oily date.)
Humelomie! He cows. Yerlisees crumbs to my embryo as if Cambriannabofanna
was early yesterdust.
Abuncle then, hot titten toot, she mulches. Iver North abounds with the
great and the snail. As any weeze nose twits it, "Iver smelt the swarm in
the swoon".
A fine foist my fettered foe, he snakes, besmearing the same dolt with
imprisoned ice. But if we needn't pump the bipkins along the heated camel
load, we'll beach the crest by moaning toad and count among each, as tho two
'd be useless, yes?
A wallopcots dingledear! she encroaches, sunning in her artless bland.
Unbevied comes the gush, if at all.
But Cots, yet smeared like a twice-tiered idiot, pushed her out of this one,
a daze and carpy, and as untied as tubular goddess Media said before
redoubting the Duke-ess in her unbeaten Skunktown song.

I can sort of sense a story here somewhere, but with dream imagery taking
over at points where it progresses. I'd totally love to read a breakdown of
it.
As far as the Finnegan's project goes, I'll be happy to start it sometime
next thursday, i have finals this week and i'll be home (Los Angeles) till
about the 24th. I'll take the book home with me (the penguin edition) and
post stuff up I found/understood and see where we can go from there.

Bizarre - the book is Finnegans Wake, the song is Finnegan's Wake.

Yes, losing the apostrophe is crucial. The name of the song consists of a
possessive proper noun and a common noun. Dropping the apostrophe transforms
it into a plural proper noun and a verb. Makes all the damn difference.

J D 8 6 4 -- Glad you enjoyed my little pastiche. (Explanation to come.)
I'll be here Thursday, without the apostrophes, but with the epiphanies.
Oh and I'm using the Penquin edition too. Have you looked at McHugh's
"Annotations to Finnegans Wake"? I have a copy, though I don't want to get
too scholarly, but rather use it to delve a bit.

I've been approaching it myself. I finally have an idea of what the
language of puns is. I feel as if I should study Latin a little more.
From Umberto Eco's book about Chaosmos, I understand the language of
puns to be conglomerate Latin words... the truth is, I know very
little Latin.

I have a theory that only 100 people in the world have REALLY read Ulysses. From cover to cover, that is.
If that is true, only 5 people have actually read Finnigan's Wake.
So, if five of us read FW, we can double the world's knowledge...
