‘It never ends’: the book club that spent 28 years reading Finnegans Wake

quote [ Fialka emphasises that media reports saying his group has “finished” the book are wrong. “We didn’t end. The last sentence of the book ends midsentence and then it picks up at the front of the book. It’s cyclical. It never ends.”
[...]
“There is no next book,” Fialka told me. “We’re only reading one book. Forever.” ]

Only the second oldest single-book bookclub in existence
