    Interpreting, I take it Roddy Doyle has not read the complete works (or holy scriptures or whatever).

    Honestly, I'd be more enthused about reading Roddy Doyle than James Joyce.

    You are quite right, Weaver! There's distinctly a brush of green about the place.

    Sparker, in an article in The Guardian. Doyle came down on Joyce but admitted he'd read only 3 pages of the Wake! So much for a book reviewer.
    My dear Weaver of Grass has 2 pages! So she's as qualified as Doyle to give an opinion.
    Dominic Rivron has read all 600+ pages. He's the 'expert' for me! I trust DR's opinion more than RD's.
    But on the Wake it's like being on the Titanic sailing out Cobh near Cork, ...it's going to be heavy seas and every manjack for himself...

    I wouldn't describe myself as an expert. I never got past page three of Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha. :)

    Ha! Ha! Ha!? - I never got past the cover.
