Faulkner ran so McCarthy could run to a slightly lesser extent.

McShartmy is shart

Absalom, Absalom! is way better, I don't know why The Sound and the Fury gets all the clap.

Conrad ran so that Fagner would get a piggyback ride

QRD on this book? Is it about my bowel movements?

The older I get the more I like As I Lay Dying best. It's complex and versatile but he makes it seem so easy.
>>
>>25273433
I prefer Sound and Fury by a bit as I find it less monotonous but Absalom was also top tier
>>
>>25273579
It certainly is his funniest one
>>
>>25273381
Why do you say this? What I read of Faulkner was kind of shit and boring
>>
>>25273804
maybe anime and manga are more (You)
>>
>>25273381
I didn't understand this book
>>
>>25273817
No, I don't like those either
Imagine someone actually having their own taste instead of just liking what they're told is le important
>>
>>25273892
read it again
>>
>>25274237
maybe video games and wrestling are more (You)

I'm about done with chapter 3 and I love it so far. First book of the kind that I read and I couldnt figure a thing out for the first hundred pages or so. Now I thinkg I've figured it out and just want to see how everything ends.
Are other books by Faulkner this caliber and style ?
>>25273433
>>25273579
I'm looking into these two next. One in particular out of these I should start with right after Sound and Fury ?

>this book is shit
>ha! Jokes on you I was only pretending to be retarded.

I recently read Absalom Absalom and it was fantastic. I went in expecting a parable of the Bible story of Absalom but while Sutpen gave me a feeling akin to King Solomon I did not really see any other characters parallel David or Absalom.

Another thing is by the end I started asking why in the world does Shreve and to a lesser extent Quentin care so passionately about this family story. I know that they are in Sound and Fury too and can't shake that part of understanding them and their obsession is in there (which I have not read yet)

Absalom Absalom features Compton as a primary character and narrator if you liked in in S&F
>>
>>25276043
Two more things I don't engage with

>>25276903
basically this. but it was hard, like walking up a mountain or something so you're tricked into thinking it was great
