jough, I just went to your website for the first time, and I want you to know that I nearly perished of glee when I saw that you had a James Joyce site.  He is my favourite thing in all the world.  I just registered, and I am filled with supreme glee.

And here, my incredible pedestrian, not-Joyce-appreciating stream-of-semi-consciousness self read the title of the forum not once but THREE times as

"joy clean" dot com and I clicked just to see what the hell that was all about.

I used to have Joycean.COM before Verisign inexplicably sold the domain to a pornographer, who in turn sold it to someone else.

It's basically getting passed around like a whore.

But I have Joycean.org and JamesJoyce.tv for the site now.

And I haven't updated it in a year and a half.  Oops!


BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS.  

Go and read most of Joyce's collected works for free.  The typos are not mine, but rather those of graduate students scanning in pages from public-domain manuscripts.

And they are many (the typos).  But Joyce would've loved the typos.  And the internet.

And all of you.

I spent plenty of time there today. Inspired my current sig as well.

I may end up spending a lot of time at joycean.org in order to repair the gaping hole in my psyche caused by the knowledge that all of my Joycean knowledge is derived from the secondhand references present in "The Waste Land" and the rest of T.S. Eliot's work, and also, to a large extent, my inability to end a sentence (in the style of Faulkner (or possibly someone else, but mostly Faulkner) yet not Joyce).

V-Adore, the pure tangential nature of that post is a force with which to be reckoned.

Recommend me how to get started with Joyce.  Should I just dive into Ulysses or is there some kiddie pool I could get acclimated in first?

Eliot wrote a very favourable essay about Joyce's Ulysses, and Joyce returned the favour by writing a parody of the Waste Land in... something...

dang, I can't find it now...

But if you want to read some more Eliot, check out the www address of this very site.

August, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is the ‘prequel’ to Ulysses. It’s a great place to start, I’d read it first. I would read Dubliners before U. too, just to acquaint yourself with Joyce’s style before you tackle the more-experimental Ulysses.

I would recommend reading the books in order, as they get progressively experimental as you go (and each subsequent book, while not a sequel really, does make references to things that happened in the previous books).

Dubliners is a collection of short stories, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man is a "coming of age" novel, and Ulysses is an encyclopedia. It's volumous and rewarding.

Then if you're brave you'll continue on to Finnegans Wake, but keep in mind that much of it is not written in English.

Yeah, listen to jough, I am reading James Joyce all backwards-like.... Ulysses, then Portrait, now FW, and I will probably never get to Dubliners since I am stuck in the hard middle part of fw.

I'm almost inspired to read James Joyce. Almost. My brain is stiff and old, though. Any further inspirations to put me over the edge would be helpful here.

I was hoping this was all about Joyce DeWitt.
