I read him in university and when I looked in my personal library and found him to be not part of it, I had to order at least one book of his I can have on my shelf.

It is a shame to admit that, as an English major, this is my first time to really read Mr. Faulkner. And in short, I was for the most part delighted in the reading and dismayed that my teachers and professors didn't have us read this. Alas, such is Midwestern education I suppose. Faulkner's short stories are intricate - worth reading slowly with a glass of bourbon or sweet tea on the table, perhaps even rereading. I was expecting much more of "the South" in the tales, but what I found was that Faulkner (at least in these short stories) was much more interested in delving the depths of the human spirit and what makes us tick across the globe than his own native Mississippi. The only frustration I encountered came when I tried to read too quickly, Mister Faulkner's text is not meant for speed, but for consideration.

He is a renowned writer but not my taste.
