Finnegans Wake pp. 462-465

For our meetings we'll start where we left off the previous time. We usually discuss 3-4 pages per meeting (7-9 pm).

On May 15 we'll start at line 15 on page 462: "So gullaby, me poor Isley!" We'll try to get through the last line of 465 ("The leady on the lake and the convict of the forest.").

If you are thinking of attending, email Bill at billhord@gmail.com -- or simply show up with a copy of the book or a device to read along online.

We meet every 3rd Wednesday, 7-9 pm, at Cafe Express on West Gray.

If you have any interest at all in Finnegans Wake, our advice is "Jump in!" We've found reading and discussing it with others is the best way to approach this immensely difficult but fun and rewarding book.

Although we are a Great Books group, we don't actually try to follow Great books guidelines (http://www.houstongreatbooks.net/resources.html) for discussions of FW exactly. We need all the help we can get! Two extremely valuable resources are 1) the Finnegans Wake Extensible Elucidation Treasury, known commonly as FWEET (http://www.fweet.org/); and 2) the James Joyce Digital Archive for Finnegans Wake (http://www.jjda.ie/main/JJDA/F/FWHome.htm).
