Paddy is in London looking for work. He goes for a job as a labourer on a building site. The foreman asks him, "Do you know the difference between a girder and a joist?"

"Sure I do," says Paddy, "Goethe wrote Faust, Joyce wrote Ulysses."

I’m rereading Ulysses now because of this joke, haven’t read it in 15 years!

Good luck! I read it once. It was hard work. A while ago the BBC did an epic radio programme of someone reading it all aloud which is actually easier to listen to than reading it.

Many years ago my then employer put up inspirational posters - the caretaker/custodian, a wrinkled oldish Irishman, who was the last person you'd think of as an intellectual, found me staring in admiration at one with a Joyce quote on, and lent me his copy of Dubliners. I also read Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, but I never attempted Finnegan's Wake.

Joyce is the only author I've ever read who, within one book, had me reaching for dictionaries in 4 different languages - English, French, German and Latin. Ironically his Irish was so basic I knew all of it that he used!
