Just finished reading the book 'No Angel' by Jay Dobyns, its a true story about himself, an undercover agent who teamed up with many other individuals to investigate a certain biker gang. Awsesome book! I would recomend it to anyone.

because it's a stream of consciousness approach?

it's harder to follow but it gives you a better insight to Faulkner's viewpoint. and with his style of language and free flowing vocabulary it makes for an excellent read.

and i'm surprised Big3, your write in a very loose style yourself; half the time i can barely discern what you're saying. though i'm sure it all makes sense before you put it in writing.

I get this a lot and its got more to do with the fact that I'm doing 8 things at once than my actual style. I blame tabbed web-browsing.

As far as faulkner goes, its not how he writes but the lack of explination associated with it. Its like a ****ing mystery novel ontop of whatever else he's writing.

I mean the whole "He hit. Then he hit. Then he hit it further" that starts S&F drove me absolutly batty.

There's something very mystical about Faulkner's writing. He just takes a little getting used to Some of it is more coherent than others. Go Down Moses is a good example, and I think it's probably the best primer for the rest of his work. Absalom, Absalom was VERY tedious reading. There's meta-narratives and other wacked out literary devices running their full course in that book.

Go down moses, huh? I'll give it a check.

I just finished The Manitcore by Robertson Davies yesterday, I loved it! Today I started Inside Out, the Pink Floyd biography by Nick Mason - it's been rather enjoyable so far.

I got bored reading that. I loved Fifth Business, though.
