Every now and again I try to read it, but I have to quit after a few pages...I wonder what a native English speaker think about something like that, do you really get the meaning? Is there a meaning at all?
The fall (bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonner-

I'm sure it had more meaning to James Joyce's contemporaries than it does to us. I find it hard to read as well. Same as reading a written interpretation of Jamaican patois.

They perform Finnegans Wake every year in my little town and Irish people come from far and wide to take part in it. The carry Finnegans coffin around the streets and than have a big party at the Irish pub.

I've read Finnegan's Wake in high school and didn't get it then. I'll check it out of the library and read it again to see whether or not I understand it as an adult.
