Has anyone here actually read this?

Did you know the book is a never ending loop that begins where it ends? That's brilliant.

I love Joyce, but I don't see myself giving Finnegans Wake a real attempt any time soon. My uncle is the only person I know who has actually read it. He let me borrow the book along with Campbell's Skeleton Key, but they've just been sitting on my shelf gathering dust. Maybe someday.
