I'm still in the process of reading this book, but so far I like it. Normally I wouldn't care for something that takes place in a made up city in Mississippi near Jackson, but. . . Faulkner's writing style is wonderful. I love the way that the chapters aren't really chapters, but events that take place from that character's point of view.

Anyway, has anyone else read this book ( seriously read and not sparknoted like I did when I had to read it a while ago) ? What do you think of this book?

Most memorable quote from this book:

Chapter 19: Vardaman

"My mother was a fish."


Yes, that one line is a full chapter.
