I dropped $60 for the pricey hardcover translation of TMWQ about a
year ago. I found it to be a very difficult read (partly because of sheer
length, partly because of depth of ideas, mostly because of the problems
encountered when translating German syntax into English). Difficult, but
well worth it. It's especially valuable in giving a perspective on
modernism that's different from Joyce's or Woolf's or any of the other
"canonized" folks.
