cj001f Posted January 12, 2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Don't think I ever read anything by Joyce. Start with Finnegan's Wake. Quote
rbw1966 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Portrait of the artist as a young man. Joyce is very difficult. Quote
cj001f Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 Portrait of the artist as a young man. Joyce is very difficult. Indeed! I question whether anyone has truly understood all(or any!) of Finnegan's Wake. Dubliners isn't too bad. Quote
rbw1966 Posted January 19, 2004 Posted January 19, 2004 At Reed there was a semester-long course devoted solely to Ulysses. Quote
scrambled_legs Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Where and When can I catch this film in Canada, eh??? Â Best book I ever read... does the movie do it any justice? I read it while sitting at home with a broken leg, couldn't imagine crawling through the alpine with two of them. Just imagine what he would've done for some T3 and beer about then eh? Â Anyone with times/dates/locations in Vancouver, let me know! Quote
cj001f Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 At Reed there was a semester-long course devoted solely to Ulysses. The Readers guide to Finnegan's Wake is twice as long as the book itself. A quark! A quark! Quote
catbirdseat Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Where and When can I catch this film in Canada, eh??? Best book I ever read... does the movie do it any justice? Well, let me put it this way. Some of the people I have talked to made it sound like the Second Coming. Quote
scott_harpell Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Where and When can I catch this film in Canada, eh??? Â If you find out, lets get a PubClub afterwards eh? Quote
scrambled_legs Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 PubClub it is... wonder if Joe ever thought that people would be watching a movie about the hell that he was going through and then laughing about it over a few drinks Quote
girlclimber Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 I read it while sitting at home with a broken leg, couldn't imagine crawling through the alpine with two of them. Â he 'only' broke one leg, shattered his right knee to be precise Quote
girlclimber Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 this REI page says Joe's presentation will start at 7:30, but there's "a special climbing competition" that begins at 6:30 Quote
scrambled_legs Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Hey thanks for correcting me girl, Wouldn't want any rumors like that getting started. Tues at 7:30? I might just have to attend! Quote
cj001f Posted January 20, 2004 Posted January 20, 2004 Any way to see this movie in PDX? February 6th, Cinema 21. I'm planning on being there. http://www.ifcfilms.com/ifcfilms/0,7271,CAT0-3127-CAT1-4309-SHID-19906-AID-5367-CLR-red-BCLR-CC0000-,00.html Quote
setnei Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 Just saw the man at REI tonight... Lots of people, and Joe signed lots of autographs... Â Seemed like a nice guy, good sense of humor, and was pretty forthright in how the whole experience has changed him and how lucky he's been in the way his life's gone since Peru. Â The climbing comp was a speed match between pairs up the rock - if you stayed to watch, you probably didn't get in to see the presentation- the line to get into the conference room was reminiscent of the old garage sale lines out on the sidewalk... Â Fun evening, and looking forward to the film. Quote
girlclimber Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 i know, i know. but i'm a perfectionist Quote
marylou Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 The new book, The Beckoning Silence is languishing half-read, next to my bed. I haven't picked it up in at least a month. Not the riveting read that Touching the Void is, IMO. Quote
iain Posted January 21, 2004 Posted January 21, 2004 the days when Beck will be silent (it's a short read) Quote
tomtom Posted January 21, 2004 Author Posted January 21, 2004 Whats it about? Joe talks about getting burned out on adrenaline sports (and his friends dying) but just can't quit. Quote
