second read update: Okay whether I was attacked by amnesia or I forgot to mark this as finished a couple of months ago... Anyways, mind-blowing work. But I think it's impossible for anyone other than Joyce to understand all the allusion and reference... Very impressive. I enjoyed reading annotation more than the actual text if that says something about it. Very novel experience. Appreciated all the word play and confusion and graphs. But reading it twice is a bit too much.
