A book worm's paradise. Latest best sellers to the classics.

The Sound and the Fury is one of the greatest pieces of literature ever written!

Four chapters, each told from a different point of view. Its true that the first chapter is told through the eyes of Benji, the mentally-retarded child, and that its terribly difficult to understand. I would advise just skipping this chapter and starting with the 2nd chapter. You can prettty much read the chapters in any order you want because the story line is not linear.

This book is amazing and I highly recommend that you give it another chance. Read some additional resource materials pertaining to the S&F and it will really help to get a handle on what goes on (plot-wise)in the story and all the symbolism...............FWIW I read it (well, most of it anyway) in high school also and I didn't have much of any idea what the hell was going on. It wasn't until I read it 2 other times during college that I began to appreciate and understand it.
