Finished William Golding's novel The Inheritors, a story of a small group of Neanderthals who come into contact with Cro-Magnons. Quite interesting. Technically rather difficult as the point of view for most of the book is through the limited perceptions of the Neanderthals. Golding did a good job in maintaining interest throughout.

Now reading Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury, which I hadn't read in over forty years. Talk about technical difficulty! The narrator is a mentally retarded man and the action jumps back and forth over thirty years, skipping back and forth between several of these periods several times on the same page! I'm fifty pages into it and enjoying the challenge.

Been distracted with several projects from the new novel . Only up to p. 185.
