> How about Faulkner next? Or Fitzgerald? (I love "The Great Gatsby" -- so powerful, and the last sentence just sends chills up and down my spine.) Sometimes I think of rereading "As I Lay Dying," but so far I've had too many other things to read when I've thought of it. It's on my list, though.

I usually don't remember too much about a book after I read it. Especially after a lot of time goes by. But I remember a good deal (for me) of "As I Lay Dying". I liked that it was written in dialect. And that each character had his/her own chapter and parts of the story to tell. But the plot itself was somewhat depressing, you know. I didn't quite know what to make of it.MAL
