    I haven't participated all year and I can't guarantee I'd read it but I would make an effort if somebody nominated Light in August.

    I think that to limit the discussion of Faulkner to one of his books might be a mistake. He's a writer of much variety. One book might have the effect of bringing forth those who's aim is to categorize very narrowly.

    It's going to be my first time reading Faulkner... Are his books THAT difficult?

    Going once...

    Having read As I Lay Dying and The Sound and the Fury couple of times already, I'd prefer reading one of the other books...

    I'd have rathered: Go, Down Moses or Light in August but I voted The Reivers to break the dead lock as I've already read As I Lay Dying.
