    Just Light in August,but this is a huge accomplishment for me because of all the times I tried to read his books and just gave up half way through them.I finished it,and it was one of the best books I've ever read.I just had to be patient like the people on the forum said.You guys are pretty cool.

    Light in August is one of the great books of the 20th century. My persaonal Faulkner favorite, and he's got a lot to enjoy. Congrqatulation Ryduce. It's not an easy read, but well worth it.

    I really enjoyed it,and I found it much easier to read than The Sound and the Fury.I think I'll wait a while before I try that one again.
