YES I ACTUALLY STOPPED READING AFTER I HAD FINISHED ULYSSES. I SAID "WHY BOTHER"
I ALSO STOPPED WRITING.

If you'd actually read the book, OP, you would realize why that question is so mind-numbingly stupid. Pleb.

I had a chance to pick that up today...but instead I bought "A Skeleton's Key to Finnegan's Wake", written in 1944, since I already have Finnegan's Wake and I don't want to start reading it until I'm ready to research everything in it.

it's self contained, but it's just something i think people find beautiful. it was considered his 'magnum opus' and if you read a bit about it, he was into gnostic/chaos magick ideas in which the magnum opus or 'great work' is like a titanic effort of will

No, but it could be; it combines the third and the first person at the same time and is a wonderful metaphor, but the language he uses (mix of Irish and English, if I'm not mistaken) is kind of uselessly odd, which makes it an imperfect yet awesome book.
