Well I take your recommendation as gold Babe, Amazon here I come!!


You won't be disappointed, Yogi. I haven't read Faulkner in about 20 years, but he is one of America's literary giants, the greatest of the great southern writers.

His masterpiece is The Sound and the Fury, which uses creative narrative techniques. The first part of the novel is told through the craggy mind of a mentally retarded man, whose fractured thoughts create a brilliant, disjointed rhapsody.

A couple of my favorites are Absalom, Absalom, and Light in August. As I Lay Dying is also a provocative book, told through several dozens of voices.
