It...Ahh, Faulkner and his stream-of-consciousness. It's your blog and your opinion, and I completely agree with you. I tried reading <i>The Sound and the Fury</i> and I just couldn't take the continual confusion as to what was happening, the backing up and rereading of almost every sentence to just make them make some sort of sense in my head. I made it through <i>Mrs. Dalloway</i> even though it gave me headaches, but Faulkner... maybe I'll try him again some time, some day.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-341752236357006509.post-9900422230650294542015-01-19T20:33:08.355-05:002015-01-19T20:33:08.355-05:00Yep...I have no doubt this would be better the sec...Yep...I have no doubt this would be better the second time through, especially if you re-read shortly after the first. Had I found it a bit more interesting I'd consider re-reading...but just too many TBR. (I know you know about that.)

In addition, reading something a second and third time, is beneficial. Sometimes even amazing!<br /><br />P.S. You are totally entitled to your opinion, otherwise why bother writing about it?Ruth @ with freedom and bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531827758868215023noreply@blogger.com
