James Joyce

I tried reading Finnegan's Wake and ended up reading the first chapter 7 times, and still have no idea what it said. I don't like books that make me feel stupid and therefore, I don't like James Joyce anymore, even if he is Irish. I am Irish and I like being Irish. I don't even mind all the stereotypes about Irish people. Some of them are true, and regardless, I like people that like to have fun, so really the stereotypes aren't so bad. I am a little German too. I don't know much about German culture only that they make good beers and good cars. But they also made the Nazis, so I have mixed feelings about the little part of me that is German.
