A work of mad genius. Who am I to criticize? It took Joyce 17 years to write it and it contains the history of the world. It seemed to take me as long to read it and I comprehended only a few atoms of Joyce’s world.

But I am done with it! FINISHED!

It is a book like no other. In Joyce’s own words, “Suck it yourself – Sugarstick!”

Someday I will finish this. If not in this, then in a future lifetime.

I keep this book by my bedside and pull it out every now and then before falling asleep, opening it to a random page and reading until I can no longer hold the train of thought. I doubt that I’ll ever read the book end to end… perhaps in forty years, though, after I retire.
