I won't argue Hemingway's brilliance, but apples and oranges, ya' know?

As I already stated I read As I Lay Dying in high school in addition to that I've read Light in August, The Sound and Fury, Requiem for a Nun and Go Down, Moses they'd be better if Faulkner's writing wasn't pointlessly hard to follow at times.
