But for cereal. I want a book to read at night before this last ACT attempt. I hear reading helps expand the vocab and while I actually have almost perfect on English and Reading, I figure it can't hurt. Faulkner happens to interest me I guess.

Also The Sound and the Fury. Those are the three that I've read, and I liked all three. |

As well as As I Lay Dying, I suggest picking up Faulkner's short stories (the collection), because the man was a damn good writer, and if you're not too familiar with him it might be easier to get through than just starting AILD or The Sound And The Fury. |
