WO'N, you tempt me to go back to Intruder in the Dust, the only Faulkner I've ever been able to read without feeling the need for a study guide to figure out what's going on. I wonder if others have had the same experience. Intruder is a gem. I plan to get into Thomas Flanagan's The Year of the French. Having read and greatly enjoyed The Tenants of Time and The End of the Hunt a while back, I somehow skipped this one, which comes first in the trilogy. Other titles I hope to get to include Hawksmoor by Peter Ackroyd, Atonement by Ian McEwen, and John Spong's Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism.
