What would be an essay topic simple and somewhat easy to argue about how Time in this book creates meaning/something?

Let's be honest here, /lit/:

Quentin wanted to fuck the little Italian girl, right?

If a work like this had been made by anyone other than Faulkner nobody would have wanted to publish it and people would assume it had been written by a middle schooler.

And indeed, the disjointed, clumsy approach taken here appears to be experimentation for experimentation's sake more than an attempt to write a coherent work; alliteration and stream of consciousness is great, but Faulkner took the idea and attempted to apply it in such a way that re-reading pages is frequent, if only to decipher the (usually boring) plot, which disappears over and over as the story jumps from scene to scene in a seemingly random order.

And it has become the bane of those forced to read it because "it's a classic." Sadly it has none of the entertaining quality shared by a work like Slaughterhouse-Five or The Hobbit, also classics and actually readable.

I don't get it? What's supposed to be so difficult about this book? Everyone says it's impossible to follow, but it clearly slaps you in the face with clues to what's going on. I thought it was a great piece of literature, but I fail to see how it's THAT challenging.
Am I missing something?

My English class next year has this as the first thing on the syllabus. Is it gonna be a semester of hearing Faulkner is a racist?
