As a member of long ago's American English majors, I'm more or less
amazed--awed--through "Sirens", but stagger on till "Circe". Then home free.

PS: One of life's more sublime pleasures is hearing Joyce himself--or Joyce
Himself--read eight minutes or so of "Anna Livia" from _Finnegans Wake_.
Still availabe on cassette, perhaps CD (this note is for the young).
PSS: Beckett on Joyce for the Joyce centenary: "I welcome the occasion to
bow once again, before I go, deep down, before his heroic work, heroic
being."
ObSal: Beckett on _Catcher_: "Bowles lent it to me and I liked it very
much indeed, more than anything for a long time." (11/20/53)
