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.

  1. Yikes. I think you need to pick better books - you hate all the ones you read.

  2. Actually, I'm just a bit slow to realize the value. Sanctuary was a good book, it just takes some thought in a broad spectrum.

    I'm looking forward to reading other Faulkner works, but I still have some catching up to do. I believe my next books will be the "Bob" series.

  3. Note to self: Don't read any book Mac wants to read.

    I just finished Outliers by Gladwell, which I think you'll enjoy. Maybe you could break the streak!
