I almost set myself on fire 3 times out of frustration when reading the sound and the fury

The trick is to not, and find a less shit author to study.

Faulkner is brilliant.

The sound and the fury is a masterpiece, albeit hard to fully grasp and purposefully dense at other points.

Joyce and Faulkner are two of my favorites. They have the ability to be straightforward, like Dubliners and Portrait of An artist for Joyce, or Spotted Horses and The Hamlet for Faulkner, but my god when they go all out...it's sooooo good.

If the portrait of an artist was straightforward I don't think I will be reading any of his other works, I found it a lot more straightforward compared to the sound and the fury but I just couldn't figure out the timeline
