Hi Faith

Yes, I'm just over half-way through, but I've been a bit distracted by Hilary Mantel: I find the two novels she's written so far in her Wolf Hall trilogy absolutely gripping. And above all they're easier: I'm having to re-read a lot of Ulysses and also read round it: as you suggest, it's not always easy, and I want to understand what's going on...

I'll go back to it in a week or two and keep you posted on progress.

Your comment on Finnegan's Wake confirms a view I'd already developed, from discussion with others too: I think I'll be giving it a miss...

Keep well

David

I see you are reading Ulysses. Let me know how that comes out. I once wrote a graduate term paper on the book and I swear that was the most challenging paper I ever undertook. I chose the book before I had a chance to look at it. I'm just glad it wasn't Finnegan's Wake.
