1/3 of the way thru. Damn it's good. Will need to revisit later in life, but I read when I understand an allusion or reference it truly adds to the novel. How are y'all doing with this book? Have y'all finished it?

It really lives up to the hype. The first read through is pretty wild. It is said that Joyce can't be read, only re-read. Some people re-read the book once a year, and of course your understanding deepens with each pass.

Worse part is upon you.
When "he" goes to work it really drags on.

I've read Dubliners and Portrait and liked them both a lot, this is next and I'm intimidated. Should I wait awhile so I'm more well read when I do take it on or just jump in?

Just jump in. It's an excellent book in terms of language and his experimentation with form, regardless of whether you understand every reference.
