Looking for something to read, huh? Try Finnegans Wake. The neologistic multilingual puns are absolutely incredible. Yeah, it's a difficult one, and most of it sounds like something Joyce pulled out his ass, but give it a go. Worst case scenario is that you might actually learn something. Besides, quote it in your lit lectures and everyone's going to assume you're a genius.

Or, y'know, that you're batshit insane for actually reading Joyce's work and trying to make sense of it.

Why should anyone be thought mentally unstable for wanting to further their own learning?

[sharkjumpfail]

Because Joyce's work is regarded as almost impossible to read. It's borderline masochistic to even try it.

I am not familiar with this Joyce. What is that that makes her writings so very difficult?

I feel I should apologize....

Aw...fucking hell. So which one are you? Or are you one I haven't been called yet?

Don't

Sorry. I'm Sam. I just...keep getting mistaken for other guys. Mostly someone named Thor. But this REALLY high...weirdo though I was his friend... Curt or something like that.

I am quite surprised that someone of your...stature has such a vocabulary. But your words are wasted. These people are never prone to listening. To us, or to anyone, for that matter.

Keeping fit doesn't mean you've gotta be an idiot.

I didn't use such words...but I suppose your impressive vocabulary would fail you at some point. Though I had not expected it to be quite so...very soon.
