I read part of The Sound and the Fury in college but never finished - it was one of those one-novel-a-week literature classes and this was too much to try and digest in a week. I try to read at least one classic per year, so I figured I might as well give it another shot.

I have to say - BIG props to anyone who can parse their way through the first two sections and actually get what's really going on. I read this with the ebook open in one tab and the Sparknotes open in another, and I probably would not have understood half as much without it.
