I saw a film based on Finnegan's Wake, in 1968. It is the only English language film I ever watched that had English subtitles. But the words in the subtitles often varied from the words spoken. I enjoyed it very much, but still have no great understanding of Joyce's book.

I guess this counts as prose. When I was a teenager, this was one of my favorites I heard at least once a week:
Ite, missa est.
Yes...welll...I never finished the book.
Don't get me wrong. I like Larsson and "Tatoo" was greeeeat..
but when i got to "Hornets Nest"... I was tired of her.
It was like reading 30 Nancy Drew mysteries in a row
