Currently I'm trying to read finnegans wake. English isn't my mother tongue and I have problems to determine whether I understood enough. Most things I read about the book itself were going on about that there's no genuine plot and that a full comprehension isn't possible. I can't decide at which degree of understanding I should move on to the next page. Has anyone dealt with this problem and can give me some advice?
