I'm planning on reading a book a week this summer. My list includes a little Philip K. Dick, a little Kurt Vonnegut, and probably Chuck Pahluniak's new book. But I wanted to start off with someone who I've been interested in for a long while now: James Joyce. Specifically, Finnegan's Wake. Now, it sounds interesting, and my teacher actually recommended it for me, but the more excerpts I read, the more concerned I am that I'm going to read all 600 and something pages and have absolutely no idea what it was about.
Has anyone read Finnegan's Wake, and if so, do you think it's going to completely over my head?
