I agree with you, but in your mind and I didn’t bring mine or mine. It’s going to win, but I mean if you don’t want to try and pin a little didn’t he, I wasn’t going to break between and again ordinance went to the moon, I think I am I going to be able to hear it would be in corporate about it, in canton nine, portable player, ongoing political, a condom not and word contain the spill.

The problem from the right moment and I don’t want improper that’s what I know you were corporate help. I haven’t overruled overruled, I don’t particularly have a probably in Albany, they’re up there, I mean own though my god, President Clinton wanted g_a_t_t_ in Conway kind if conduct and thing well I think what Albany Hillary and it could go home and at some point evidence. it think it helps and pinned down don’t mark and intolerable, but I didn’t perform and important thing, welcome back to the question that in and only one million on hundred points or over so can we can go on line, Clinton called on would do anything for granted weekend at camp in Poland been undergoing a little coloured. Well Laurin opponent on top of people down, I think all of the a political asylum about government in big trouble. Coleman moment and opinion, in a different form. mm-hm the improvement.

Our plan will Clinton may have begun article and the more than an inch armageddon come, back to me, in wait till I mean will we will. That he they believe that any the he did not warmly morrie, well meet again, we talk a little, possibly the it’s the only one on I cannot tell you how you would agree with me but uniquely I am going more money. And you’ve got to watch but it cannot the eternal those a contaminated, I think that’s within Cuba unevenly and those that take a week old bulls a little a long way morning bonnie all we are in school. what money.

Candy and on in, and would and of movement on the envelope was on, and an Indian. My night, and the UK, those and most of them. it’s by the end of the world. It doesn’t fit the mold. No. I did.

I think for people who haven’t read Finnegans wake before this version nearly makes as much sense as the original (and almost as funny) and I personally find it a lot easier to read too! In the original Joyce tries to pack the whole story into the first page of the book but Google seems to do the opposite here and tries to pack most of the story into the last paragraph. It adds around 5 or 6 new characters to the plot in the space of a few sentences in an attempt to make something of a story before the video ends, but fails miserably…  much like it has with other attempts on YouTube.

Heres the video if you want to see for yourself. If you have a copy of the book, he is reading from page 213-216, or the Anna Livia Plurabelle episode which is the last few pages of part 1.
