What's your favorite Faulkner book? Which of his books have you read? Which book of his are you reading? Post your dankest Faulkner memes. Ask ITT anything you might not have understood about his works.

I'm currently reading Absalom, Absalom! and it's rivaling The Sound and the Fury for my favorite.

I've read "All the light we cannot see" but it is not probably written by Faulkner

Absalami, absalami! is my favorite of his. As I Lie Dying and Sound and Furry are tied for second favorties. Light on August is my third.

I'm going to read The Unvanquished next. I wish I had a sister.

Faulkner is just shitty Joyce.

Stop wasting your time.

The Sound and the Fury for me. each character comes alive and nearly leap off the page. Absalom, Absalom! can be tedious at times, but when it soars it soars so i can see why people say it's his best. Light in August is a close second but i thought the preacher character drug it down in the latter parts. i really need to read his latter books.

I'm on a Hemingway kick but I finished As I Lay Dying about a month and half ago and loved it. As soon as I finish The Sun Also Rises and For Whom The Bell Tolls I'll likely pick up The Sound and The Fury.
