Dead City Library and Joyce
Ran into a reference to the Dead City Library today which is, in the words of the creator, an online collection of weird texts as compensation for the lack of a Lovecraftian lobstrocity ever offering a library card to a forgotten citadel housing forbidden texts.
Hit a link from there to an online edition of James Joyce's Finnegan's Wake which makes me happy to know that I can easily access the text any time I have an Internet connection. In fact, I'm going to cut and paste the first sentence. Of course, I could just write it from memory, but that pushs me into geek land.
"riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs."
Hmmm, not as geek as I thought. I got a few words wrong.
