Meh.

I'm not a fan of run-ons that are (at least) a page long. Stream-of-consciousness isn't my cup of tea.

Faulkner's characters families are a lot like my relatives in the South.

I've made it through Faulkner's books, except for "Absalom, Absalom". I literally got a headache reading it.

With that being said, Hemingway is more for me. I started "For Whom the Bell Tolls" again a few nights ago.
