I like that "cycle" idea of the book, where the ending of the book leads onto the beginning again, or something like that, which I tried a long time ago.
Contained within Finnegans Wake was supposed to be a History of the World,that was Joyces plan,some of his work does almost read like a reference book,interesting to note that by the time Finnegans Wake was published Joyce was famous and rich almost solely due to the scandal concerning the 'naughty bits' in Ulysses.

😁 Hey, interesting.
You know, if I ever make a band, then I'll probably name it after a word in Finnegans Wake. 🤔 i.e. "Humptyhillhead", "Mishe mishe", "Offwall", "A Bland Old Isaac", "Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk", etc.
There are also album title ideas: "From Swerve of Shore to Bend of Bay", "Tumptytumtoes", "Upturnpikepointandplace", "Oftwhile Balbulous, Mithre Ahead", "Sendday's Eve and, Ah, You're Vinegar!", "Hahahaha, Mister Funn, You're Going to Be Fined Again!", "Killykillkilly", "Boomeringstroms", "What Strawng Voice of False Jiccup", "Aquaface", "Riverrun, Past Eve and Adam's", etc.
Hmm, I've noticed something about James Joyce's books: they sound a whole lot better when you read them aloud. Particularly Finnegans Wake is really enjoyable. Hey, who cares whether I understand even a single word of it? I'll just read it aloud to myself, it'll be fun!
