damn...i wouldn't have a problem with it if i understood it, but half of the time i'm like what?! and are you telling me you understand everything?i actually bought a sort of compilation of his novels with as i lay dying, sanctuary, light in august and pylon...if what you say is true i doubt i'll finish reading it, it's frustrating reading something when you don't understand certain words or sentences... the reason i ordered the book in english is because i started reading light in august in croatian and the translation to croatian "hick" talk was just ridiculous....
i'm planning on reading the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy this summer ( and of course the latest harry potter....hehe...)

William Faulkner is far from light reading, even for people who's first language is English.

i think the most difficult novel i've read has to be Herzog....now that's a good read for philosophy majors....it would have been a really good read if he had just stuck with the midlife crisis and avoided the Jean-Paul Sartre interludes....a good, beautiful book doesn't have to be a difficult book...look at gabriel garcia marquez....easy read yet beautiful.....
