Book #11 The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner. I really had to concentrate to understand this book about three brothers and Caddy, the sister, Caddy's daughter, the alchoholic father, and the hypocondriac mother along with the black servants. The time is out of sync. The language is hard. The thoughts are choppy and interspersed with each person. Let's say it- it was a hard read. The whole story conveyed disfunction, downfall, and disorder. I know, it is one of Faulkner's most celebrated. I can't say I enjoyed it, but then, I'm glad I read it. All of my reading can't be about cats and mice. Or can it?
