I'm being ambitious (Faulkner, Fitzgerald, Dreiser, Greil Marcus)

Posted to What Are You Reading?




My beggining of the summer reading consists of

The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner
The Beautiful and the Damned by F. Scott Fitzgerald
An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser

I decided to read some more sort of canonical American novels after I finished Mystery Train:Images of Rcok n' Roll in America by Greil Marcus, so i picked these as starters. I'm about half way thru the Faulkner and I'm LOVING it.
