Explicacions
gilroy : Faulkner is a dated writer. He was fine when he was first published, but unless you're a literary scholar, not worth the struggle.
aulsmith : Read As I Lay Dying and will never touch Faulkner again.
sturlington : Read it in college. Check off my one Faulkner.

Explicacions
tiddleyboom : Read it. Loved it.
.Monkey. : Read it. Disliked.
amanda4242: Read it twice and hated it twice.
JalenV: Had to read it for High School and hated it. I read The Chosen and the Beautiful by Nghi Vo. Found her inserted characters and the magic interesting, still hated the Gatsby sections.
Aprill: Read it.
ahef1963: Read it; didn't really like it.
ManWithAnAgenda : Read it. Loved it.
MyFathersDragon: It was one of the classics to choose from to read in a high school class. I read lots of the choices, so I had options to choose from when it was time to write a book report.

Explicacions
aulsmith : This is the one Lawrence I read, and I agree with sturlington.
sturlington : You really only need to read one Lawrence, I think. I read Lady Chatterley's Lover and had no interest in reading more.
ahef1963: I really loved this book. It captured England so well.
