Thank gawd for Cliff Notes. Even though I was an English major, I never had to read Joyce. Henry James was bad enough . . . Hemingway could say more in one sentence about a human’s condition than either Joyce OR James could say in a page of prose . . . can’t figure out why these long verbose tomes are considered (by the establishment) to be worthier of consideration than humorists such as Mark Twain . .

Some teachers just do not have a sense of humor.

You’d think that the teacher would at least give him credit for his lack of punctuation in “Finnegans”.

Did Frank go to Restore…? If so, it looks like it’s working for him… ReJoyce Frankie…!

Are these comments for bloody real ? Pity some seem to have replaced any sense of humor (lowly as it may have been) with enlarged literary egos. :>)
