Finnegan's Wake is easier to read, in my opinion, because it isn't a linear novel. By its very construction, the non-deterministic "narrative" implores the Reader to leap, skip, and jump about as though lucid dreaming. John Bishop's introduction to the Penguin Classics edition (not my favorite edition, but definitely the best intro) provides a supporting context for this. I think the book is great fun.
