I read that book when I was about 16, I think that it is his best work. I just finished one of his new ones and it was dreadful, it read like a childrens book. It was full of groaner jokes and the like, I don't even remember what it was called it was so bad

Twilight.... can't remember the author's name but it's a really good book about a vampire who falls in love with a human girl.

EDIT:

it's by stephenie meyer

We're not saying that The Sound and the fury isn't written by him, but Faulkner took the title from a Shakespeare play which very well maybe Macbeth, I was stabbing in the dark, though I've never read Macbeth so now I sort of want to so I can find out.

Derailed, by James Seigel.

It's about a middle aged, married man who meets a woman on a train and has an affair with her. Things take a dramatic turn and soon the mans life is in danger. It has one of the best twists I've ever read. Worth a read if you are into crime thrillers!

It's definitely from Macbeth, I was just saying it may also be in King Lear, since that's what you said and I haven't read it.

I've read Macbeth a few times and I don't recall 'The Sound and the Fury'

The Simarrilion is really good,
Basically if you have read the LOTR, this book is like that, except its th ebginning, the creation of middle earth and such.

& the first one i read was called "lightning", that was alright
dean koontz & stephen king are my favorite authors so ill read pretty much anything by them

EDIT: & i might as well mention that i am this close to finishing "it" by stephen king
pretty good
much scarier than the movie
the movie was...a disappointment to say the least
