I could well believe it. A quick search finds "While Finnegans Wake is very readable, unlike most books — which are solitary exercises — it is best read aloud and in a group."

(It's on my list. But so is Gravity's Rainbow, a complete Pratchett reread, and many other things I won't get to for quite some time, if ever.)
