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.
