In reply to Faulkner, Oprah... I can't believe I did this, posted by Minnie-Haha on June 5, 2005, at 21:59:46

I was really surprised to hear that Oprah chose 3 Faulkner books for her book club. Somehow I just don't see them going over well with Oprah fans. I've only read "The Sound and the Fury". It was a long time ago. I enjoyed it but wouldn't have had I not had a cheat sheet explaining who was who. Actually, I think half of my enjoyment came just from getting through it.Good luck.
