Sanctuary by Faulkner

"Then I saw that it was so terrible that there were but two things to do: tear it up or rewrite it." so said Bill about his book; I'm not sure that he made the correct decision.

Just like there may not have been incest between Catherine and Heathcliff; Temple may not have been raped - could have been an early stage of making a pipe, we could ask Clinton.

Wow, Sanctuary is quite the degenerate book. The good news is that in the 1930's authors left a great deal to the imagination, which kept me guessing throughout.

I'm still not sure what happened to Gowan - poor boy probably moved to Alabama, might have been a neighbor.

I'll continue to think about Sanctuary, but I'm going to read something a little easier. I will return to Faulkner.

Some Danger Involved by Will Thomas

O.K., good read. The author has done some homework and has the everyday murder mystery set in olde London.

This read was entertaining, although at the end it tied together by simply explaining things.

I believe the author has begun a series and I'd continue to read his work.

Filth

This book was a NY Times recommendation. It was brutal. The language was difficult and the overriding feature was simply the depth of degradation that the author could sink to.

To be honest, I sped read a bunch to see if it had any redemption - it did not. It is the only book that I've actually read and then thrown in the trash.
