(Someone from work shared this with me. I normally don't pass things like
this along, but read through it. Don't stop to analyze it, just read. It's
interesting the way the brain processes information.)

Turns out you could read it.

I like words.

I actually undertook a "project", in my juvenilia, to read Finnegan's Wake aloud in its entirety.

I failed.

Please don't ever tell that to anyone....
GreenGullet
Reading aloud from Finnegan's Wake is an especial joy of mine. In no way, I feel, can the writings of James Joyce be approached from a perspective of nihilism. Even read as gibberish, which is what I am sometimes limited to, the words of Finnegan's Wake resonate with a deep intrinsic meaning. The structure and rhythm of Joyce's language seems to enunciate the very rhythm of language and thought itself. In the human mind, which uses language to define itself and the world around it, the language of Finnegan's Wake personifies the syntax of consciousness, a mirror of the mirror, if you will.

He's gullible -- it's a documented urban legend.

I posted a detailed rebuttal on feeverte last time around, but a treatise on human reading is simply not done in these parts.

Just a small hint: try it with complicated words with bdltkcaoeus of consonants. It 'dnsoet work.
