This is the beginning paragraph of Finnegan Wake...
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. Sir Tristram, violer d'amores, fr'over the short sea, had passen-core rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy isthmus of Europe Minor to wielderfight his penisolate war: nor had topsawyer's rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselse to Laurens County's gorgios while they went doublin their mumper all the time: nor avoice from afire bellowsed mishe mishe to tauftauf thuartpeatrick: not yet, though venissoon after, had a kidscad buttended a bland old isaac: not yet, though all's fair in vanessy, were sosie sesthers wroth with twone nathandjoe. Rot a peck of pa's malt had Jhem or Shen brewed by arclight and rory end to the regginbrow was to be seen ringsome on the aquaface.
But my all-time favorite book is The Loves and Life of a She-devil by faye Weldon (she's a bit of a feminazi LOL but i like her) :mrgreen:

sorry to say but the author is overdressing her descriptions ( for the love of words, haha) that it makes your brain intertwined, you start to frown, tho curious as you are but then get puzzled as that, it makes it boring....
