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?

I feel I should apologize....

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

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.

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

Don't

Nice to meet you, too.

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

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

Just saw the movie.... That is a cruel screen name, sir. XD

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 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.
