I know that this blog is supposed to be about one great work and not the other, but I just came across this "review" over on GoodReads of Ulysses. I perhaps should say to people who are not acquainted with GoodReads, or for that matter Amazon, I believe this is compilation of one star reviews and not a reflection of the reviewer's own sense of the book...All I can say is, let them read Wake.

Easter Proclamation of 1916
Certainly a thunderword.
1966.
Nelson's Pillar Destroyed. Known as Operation Humpty Dumpty, Irish Republican supporters blow up the Nelson Pillar in Dublin to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising.
Grunt unto us, I pray, your foreboden article in our own deas dockandoilish introducing the death of Nelson with coloraturas! (FW 466.22-24)
And... wait... there's more:
“The Ballad of Persse O’Reilly” itself, the name, according to McHugh’s Annotations to Finnegans Wake, refers simultaneously to “Pearse & O’Rahilly,” figures in Dublin’s Easter Rising against the British in 1916, and to the French word perce-oreille, “earwig,”-...[f]olklore has it that earwigs can enter the head through an ear and feed on the brain.

“bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawn
skawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk!” It doesn’t get easier from there. Illustrator John Vernon Lord has valiantly distilled the imagery of the highly experimental literary experience into a gorgeous new edition from the Folio Society.
