I finished this last night. It’s a pretty interesting book. It reminds me of The Sound and the Fury in its depiction of a declining Southern family.

Four down

I finished As I Lay Dying just the other day, which brings my total to four. The other three were, in order: The Sound and the Fury, Absalom, Absalom!, and Light in August. I am currently about halfway done with Sartoris, and after finishing it I plan to read Go Down, Moses, before tackling the Snopes trilogy.
