Finnegan's Wake

I was thinking a fun trip activity would be to read aloud, passages from this book.

I don't really understand a thing that's going on, but what I do is open a random page and then read from a random spot. It makes no sense, but its kinda challenging in a tongue twister sort of way. Also, once you get going, you'll find there's a certain rhythm to it, kinda reminds me of the slang used in A Clockwork Orange.

(couldn't upload it, so check this youtube playlist of all of the pieces)

Excellent to listen to if you have tried to tackle James Joyce.

Did someone edit this? It needs the link, cause it's a whole playlist! Thanks though!

Sweet idea Beast! Nice find Rev!

What a trippy book... I understand a lot of what's being said just by associating the strange lingo with known modern words, but it's almost as if it's being written for soley for that purpose. I'll have to wiki the author..
