Please sir, please sir, can I add Finnegan's Wake to the list? I remember trying to work my way through that _expletive expurgated_ novel, assisted by the Golden Bough and motley other works, for about a year before deciding I had enough. All because I wanted to read the bit that went "three quarks for muster mark", and figure out what it meant, if it meant anything. Anyway, Shiv, I haven't understood the point of much of your recent posts either. Which is not to say that I am saying they had no point, just that my comprehension of the language is not up to the task. In fact, I'm glad Udhay posted this, because like a character in the serial Coupling says, "I thought for an awful moment that I had forgotten the entire English language." There, Finnegan's Wake, SSS and Coupling, all in one post. Beat that, Udhay. Ram
