A quick look will tell you that 8% of the book is compiled of “Regret”… and I have to say that I’m feeling a goodly amount of that right now. Unfortunately, my reading in Ulysses ended prematurely this year when I hit a wall somewhere around Episode Nine: Scylla and Charybdis and I never really recovered.

A Building Roam: New blog about Finnegans Wake. Just a quick note that I've officially launched a new blog to be entirely devoted to Finnegans Wake.
It is called "Finnegans, Wake! " in reference to the title's imperative angle, calling the sleeping giant of civilization to rise up from slumber. The purpose is to awaken readers to the unfathomable, essentially infinite depths of the work which I believe is the greatest work of art of the 20th century. It's become clear to me that the massive black hole that is Finnegans Wake was threatening to inhale the entirety of this blog plus it just makes more sense to have a separate home for all my blabberings about that most derided of obscure books. I will, of course, continue to post plenty of material here and certainly won't cease discussion of the Wake around these parts, but all thorough explication, reflection, etc. will go on at the new blog from now on.
