One of the first things you’ll learn is that there’s no apostrophe in Finnegans Wake. Check with me, if you want, about good online resources (and other things) on both Ulysses and the Wake. Kinda miss our monthly book club on the Wake, but we’ll probably be using Zoom next month. The common order is Ulysses first, but there’s no reason to follow the common. Also, there are free versions online of both. It helps to read the Wake out loud too - or hear someone else read it - preferably someone Irish. It takes some devotion to wordplay like no other text.
