Not a Faulkner fan, but "Sound And The Fury" is a must read. Seriously...

And if you like "100 Years...," go ahead and pick up "Love In The Time Of Cholera" and the collection of short stories "Leaf Storm." For a real quick read, check out "Chronicle Of A Death Foretold," which is real cheap too.

"Trouble in transit/got through the roadblock/we blended with the crowd
We got computer/we're tapping phone lines/I know that ain't allowed
We dress like students/we dress like housewives/or in a suit and a tie
I changed my hairstyle/so many times now/I don't know what I look like!
You make me shiver/I feel so tender/we make a pretty good team
Don't get exhausted/I'll do some driving/you ought to get some sleep
Get you instructions/follow directions/then you should change your address
Maybe tomorrow/Maybe the next day/Whatever you think is best
Burned all my notebooks/What good are notebooks?/They won't help me survive...
My chest is aching/Burns like a furnace/The burning keeps me alive..." - "Life During Wartime" - Talking Heads
