Look son, you don't gotta be a master of English to be able to be part of a labor union.

I know Ogres struggle to get work outside of factories, but that doesn't mean the labor you do is low-value or unskilled.

Ogres together strong.

Worker exploitation?

It's all Ogre now.

Most tragically of all, Ogre doesn't know that this matches, or even eclipses, Joyce's own understanding.

Ogre should have started with a book with much simpler themes and aimed at children... like Atlas Shrugged.

Just what we need, libertarian ogres ...

I mean, he's doing alright by my standards. I gave it a solid try but couldn't keep myself awake through it no matter how I tried. Beautiful prose - pick a single random page out of that book and you can get a message in it's own microcosm. Trying to synthesize it all made my head want to explode and my brain chose sleep instead of computation.

Finnegan's wake is a far easier read. Pick a random page anywhere and it makes no fucking sense at all.

Oger did like the jerking off on the beach scene though.

Ogre should read Joyce's letters to Nora.

On the bright side Ogre not have $40k in student debt to be a bartender.
