Finnegan's Wake

[Beast]

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.

Unclean you aret not. Outcaste thou are not. Leperstower, the karman's loki, has not blanched at our pollution and your intercourse at ninety legsplits does not defile. Untoubhable is not the scarecrown is on you. You are pure. You are pure. You are in your puerity. You have not brought stinking members into the house of Amanti. Elleb Inam, Titep Notep, we name them to the Hall of Honour. Your head has been touched by teh god Enel-Rah and your face has been brightened by the goddess Aruc-Ituc. Return, Santed youngling, and walk once more among us! The rains of Demani are masikal as of yere. And Baraza is all aflower. Siker of calmy days. As shiver as shower can be. Our breed and better class is in brood and bitter pass. Labbeycliath longs. But we're counting on the cluck. The Great Cackler comes again. Sweetstaker, Abel lord of all our haloease, we (to be slightly more femmiliar perhips than is slickly more then nacessory), toutes philomelas as well as magdelenes, were drawpars with two pinmards BVD and BVD dot. so want lotteries of ticklets posthastem.....

I double checked to make sure there were no typos (on my part at least)...

(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..
