As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
5.0
For the first half of this book I was just trying to get through it. A lot of dense, nonsensical dialect isn't really my cup of tea. I would have put it down except: 1. It's a classic, it's short, I should read it and 2. The whole book is about the transportation of a corpse. I don't know that I have ever given up on a corpse book.
I'm glad I stuck with it, even though there were still some frustrating utterances of nonsense, the book really started to come together for me and create a whole picture out of a lot of loose strings. If you enjoy the hopelessness of the Grapes of Wrath with a side of corpses (well, one corpse) and are willing to work through some difficult text, I recommend this.
