As I Lay Dying
When I told someone I was reading this, they responded that Faulkner is a tough read. I don't know about that, but he is definitely one that requires you to pay attention while you read. I was cruising along and the next thing I knew naked people were running around with animals, the barn was burning, and then two of the naked guys started wrestling. huh? definitely not easy reading but a nice change of pace from the type of writing that is prevalent in most of todays books.

Love me some Faulkner - A Light in August is fantastic. The prose is definitely dense and demands attention, but it's rewarding because of it.
Faulkner was a deranged idiot.
So was picasso and i love his paintings. i think a deranged mind can oftentimes tap into a part of us that exists in everyone but is not as readily accessible in the less deranged.
I hate Faulkner
