Anybody know how much time Faulkner spent making deals down at various crossroads? I don't know that people can write this well without some outside assistance.

Book 3, from Jason's POV, is very straightforward: the guy's a jerk. I'm Team Quentin for sure.

A moment of silence please for the audiobook readers we've lost to Faulkner's impossibly kaleidoscopic sentences.

I've read the same page three times over and still: no idea what is happening.

Somebody put a hold on this eBook, leaving me 10 days to finish it up, meaning I gotta double my pace to meet a deadline...
Nah, eff that - I got enough deadlines in my life already. I'm getting a backup paper copy so's I can take my time. Rushing thru Billy's densely knotted prose? Not advisable.

Gotta agree - the view from atop Absalom! Absalom! was breathtaking.

Lucky there's a bunch of experienced folks who blazed the trail first. Otherwise I might never work up the nerve myself.
Oh man, I hated this book so much! Good luck to you on your climb!
