Unintelligible, Convoluted and Frankly, Uninteresting

Maybe I'm not intelligent enough to appreciate Faulkner but I started with his first offering as it was considered the easiest to digest. No so for me. I couldn't follow anything that was before my eyes nor did I care. I couldn't finish it. Stick with Hemingway and leave Faulkner to the uppity purists who like to read run-on sentences that go no where slowly.
