I had to look that one up. Saw this:
Quote:
A 2014 film, The Sound and the Fury (2014) was directed by James Franco, and starred Franco as Benjy Compson, Jacob Loeb as Quentin Compson, Joey King as Miss Quentin, Tim Blake Nelson as Mr. Compson, Loretta Devine as Dilsey, Ahna O'Reilly as Caddy Compson, Scott Haze as Jason Compson, Kylen Davis as Luster, Seth Rogen as a Telegraph Operator, Danny McBride as a Sheriff and Logan Marshall-Green as Dalton Ames.
I haven't read any Faulkner, might look into some of it.

i didn't get very far into the sound and the fury, but i'd like to try it again

i've only read one other of which i can't remember the name, and as i lay dying

So far I've had three different authors "like" my reviews of their work on Goodreads and all three were "you should write better" reviews, more or less. Feels bad, man.

I don't really write reviews on Goodreads. Maybe I should. But I feel weird about it.

I stopped writing reviews a few years ago, but every once in a while someone will "like" one out of nowhere (they also come up when I Google my name). Like last week someone liked a review of Evelio Rosero's The Armies that I wrote in October 2009.

I only write a review when it's something in the book that I felt strongly about. I wrote (a short) one for "Tiger Rising" because that story hit a nerve somehow and I felt it as more than just words on a page. This one is because while the story was engaging and the premise very interesting, the author managed to make me not want to just scan around for the end of conversations because they got so cyclical in their nature.

Is your book an e-book only? Or is there a physical version, too?

You can order the print-on-demand version from Amazon.

Giving this a go. My wife thinks I'm going to love it and she's usually right on about this stuff.
