I think Finnegans Wake could be a transcendent experience for some people with the right background in Irish history and language but it's just not a book that was written for everyone to just ... read. It's a translation project.
Why exactly it was on so many lists of "must read" books that I encountered as a kid I will never understand. I would have been better off reading untranslated Beowulf. :/
Yes I'm a little annoyed about this.
