Marx defines a utopia as a place without history?? That’s sick

This book is no loves body but its very comprehensible

“Where did thots come from?”

I’d like to know this too Mr Joyce

Hemale men all unbracing to omniwomen

Onto book 4!! Less than 40 pages left

Carnal hygiene

eskipping the clock back seems especially prescient even by wake standards

Back to reading this on a plane

I swear I swear I swear I’ll finish this book

Dirk wettingstone

Reading this in the teachers is the worst thing I’ve ever done as a human

Mannequin posse also??

Bisectualism

Shem and Shaun and the shame that sunders em
Wisdoms son, folly’s brother

Reading this at 11pm in bed… I am so dedicated to finishing this dumb book

The tree part was really cool. One of the more frustrating parts of this book is that clearly Joyce could just write normal but instead chooses to torture me

500!! 12 more days of this

Fairhead on foulshoulders

whoishe whoishe whoishe whoishe linking in? Whoishe whoishe whoishe

Oremus poor fraternibus that he may yet escape the gallews

Finally Remus and Romulus I’m getting something (nothing)

The west shall shake the east awake. Walk while ye have night for morn

Missed yesterday due to hangover but back to the grind

Toborrow and toburrow and tobarrow!

Literally the only Shakespeare I know. The sound and the fury? Benjy would definitely like finnegans wake

James Joyce is just too horny Nora barnacle needs to step up the handjobs

“That alltoocommon fagbutt habit of frequenting and chumming together” Does he mean ashtray is crowded?

A lot of sex talk here again which is fun. Also like to imagine that James Joyce is credited with inventing the word fagbutt

The twins are getting divorced??? Surely this means something

The way is free. Their lot is cast.

A prime number, Totius Quotius

Back to the grind! Very lost!

This historical play thing is dragging on far too long. Even the person who annotated this book had nothing to write here

Reading this in the evening is never a good idea I feel even more lost. It’s all the shem and Shaun parts that get me confused

I think the wake is happening?

“Ulstravoilance” is this where burgess got that from? Certainly there is a paper somewhere explaining how the entirety of clockwork orange was actually in finnegans wake originally

Nightlessons! The little drawings in the margins were cute thank you Mr Joyce

Page 300!!! Very horny stuff in this section, Nora barnacle must’ve been insane

A lot of math here (according to the annotations) but it seemed more like cards? We are back to normal typesetting too sadly
