It all started with a simple story about a hod carrier living in Walkin' Street.
But by mixing references from tomes like New Science(La Scienza Nuova) and the Egyptian Book of the Dead it went on to become this...(the first and last lines of X)
"A way a lone a last a loved along the" ......"riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs."
The title of X can be literally interpreted as "End again".
What is X ?
New:: clue1: X is a book.
clue2: The title of X and very loosely, its idea is derived from a folksy ballad.
clue3: Hope you had a happy St. Patrick's day ?

That is a James Joyce novel (Ulysses?)
James Joyce's Ulysses?
It is indeed a novel by James Joyce - Finnegan's wake. The eponymous Irish folk ballad is about a hod carrier (a cement carrier, a common labourer) called Tim Finnegan, who lived on Walkin Street.
The book begins at the middle of a line, whose first part is the last line of the book. This circular structure is reflected in the name Finnegan itself; Fin- meaning finish or end in French and "egan" that sounds like "again". So essentially meaning End Again.
