Start with 'The Sound and the Fury'.
Not an author I have tackled, but from reading about him "As I Lay Dying" appears to be one of his more "accessible" books. Please let us know how you get on.

Thanks....I will go to the library on Monday
The Sound and the Fury takes a lot of 'reading'. Anything else will be a piece of cake!
Why have you chosen William Faulkner, Mikey?
Question Author
I am reading one of my favourite travel writers at the moment, William Least Heat Moon. As a young man in the 60's, he visited Faulkner, although he only got to speak to his son. He makes Faulkner sound fascinating.

By the way, I would recommend Moon's "Blue Highways" to anyone....its a book that I re-read every few years.
I haven't done much reading just lately. I tend to read more during the winter.
The Long Hot Summer is pretty accessible.
