If I could get in contact with my American Literature professor from college, I would give him a big hug for never making us read this book. Because I really only have a vague idea of what went on in this novel. The Sound and the Fury is to classic literature as Lost is to modern television.It can't...
I was thisclose to taking away a star. Sixteen year old Ashley was way more impressed with Faulkner's machinations than twenty-five year old Ashley is (this is mostly because sixteen year old Ashley was ecstatic that she even managed to understand the thing, in fact, it was basically her proudest mo...
The Sound and the Fury is one for the committed reader; someone who really wants to read it. I sympathize with students who are assigned this incredible novel. It’s demanding; it can be hard to read; it's one of which Barthes might suggest be read for “the pleasure of the text.” Approached in the ri...
Of course I have read this - but it was ages ago! Would what I thought of it then match up with what I think now? I am not so sure! So how do others award the stars for books read long ago?

If this summary doesn't clearly communicate a story to you, welcome to The Sound And The Fury! The book doesn'...
Arg! What a difficult book to read! Reading is supposed to be either edifying or entertaining and this one was neither but rather and exercise in being able to piece everything together (in which I failed miserably). The first section will lose you completely even if somehow you were to know in adva...
Images...I see them. They are beautiful, but I...The images...There goes someone. What is she doing?...Those images, what do they mean?...There she goes again...And then, as if you weren't confused enough, in the second section of The Sound and the Fury, the narration is taken over by Quentin, a qui...
