Turning over a new leaf, here, and only submitting to you intellectual folk guaranteed heavy-hitting, high-type literature based on the loftiest of authorial influences I can find, and containing as many complex-compound sentences as ever possible. (I'll take that other trash elsewhere.)

I need not explain the literary influence here - it is of course perfectly clear, every syllable of it, and although I may not hope to approach the Master in breadth of scope, I might hope that at least - which is not often the case with his marvelous tome (to which I refer regularly) - somebody might actually manage to read the whole thing.

Feel free to adimadvert upon the folly of an attempt at this genre, but please bear in mind that I am a bit sensitive, and might shed a tear or two in your direction, should you be so unkind as to suggest I should keep my day job(s).

Which I will anyway. Fiction pays even worse than what I do for a living.

I can't say I understood a word of it, but it made me laugh.

Then you agree with Brendan Behan. (He said you should read 'Finnegans Wake' for the jokes.

I've never read JJ.

I once started to read 'Dubliners' but never got into it.
You see, I don't belong to your target group of intellectuals.

Straw poll, who besides me has read 'Dubliners'?

There's a marvellous radio programme over here, where actors and writers read short stories aloud. They do this in a venue in New York City.

Once a year, they all read 'The Dead' from 'Dubliners'.

One of these days I might 'get it'.

Hope dies last, eh?

nope .. never read Dubliners ... and confess I have never read Finnegan's Wake either ...

I am waiting for someone to record the audio-book of Finnegan's Wake ... serious ... I think it would be amazing ... ..

.....funny you should mention that radio show ... because ... I have just read Finnegan's Lunch Break ... aloud ...

a dmitri-classic in fact .... love it! ... even though I'm not sure if my interpretation is quite how it originally sounded in the mind's ear of the author .... .. so waiting for my CD audio-book please sir ... .... or hear it on the radio ..

thankyou very much

splendid

Thanks for saving me the bother of reading 'Finnegan's Wake.'

I have read 'The Dead' and thought it over long.

But then I'm not one of your famous intellecutals either.
