The first project I have in mind to mark the beginning of my retirement, should that day ever arrive, is officially confirmed as a complete read-through of Joyce's Finnegans Wake. I can't lay claim to the title of a true Joycean unless I can achieve this. And there's now so much help to be had reading Joyce's web of words on the World Wide Web itself (see what I did there) that there's simply no excuse for not giving it a go.
Yesterday I happened upon the best version of The Ballad of Persse O'Reilly I've ever heard courtesy of my YouTube feed. Evidence that the algorithm sometimes happily gets it right.
