Ég ætla bara að segja það strax: Mjög óliklegt að ég klári þessa bók. Og það sem hef lesið hingað til hef ég mestmegnis lesið upphátt – eða að lágmarki muldrað. Strax kominn í fimm stjörnur samt. En þetta er svolítið einsog að hlaupa fjóra járnkarla í röð í dásamlegu landslagi. Eða reykja rosalega mikið af krakki á meðan maður rúnkar sér á rifjárni. Gottvont. Og algerlega óskiljanlegt.

I'm not even shitting, this might be the best book ever. Everything in the world is in here. It would take a lifetime of study to get to the bottom of it (no one ever has, apparently), but the fun of the punning alone on a surface read makes it worthwhile.

Wow. Joyce was on fire in this section; hitting his musical stride. Is this the greatest novel ever written? Even if written in code? Maybe. All I can say is, beyond all reason, this is damned amazing. How the hell am I loving Finnegans Wake, of all things?

My edition is a few pages shorter than the count listed here, so I'm actually slightly past the halfway mark, at 50+ percent. This is some kind of achievement and I'll accept cheap champagne for it. The real stuff when I finish.
