I'm a Borges and Nabokov fanboy. They write with a tight, elliptic, almost mathematical style. The very antithesis of Faulkner. But I really enjoyed The Sound and The Fury a lot. It's kind of like putting a magic stethoscope to someone's head, and listening to their interior monologue. Same goes for Woolf. (Of course, those in the know know it's a popular misconception that Joyce wrote "stream of consciousness" novels. But that's another story).
