Faulkner is where it's at.

His books are good for plane flights, stuff like that. It'll keep you occupied for a couple hours and you can instantly forget it after you read it.

By the way, WTF are you doing posting on this board Mr "I'm in Monaco"? Get off the net and go enjoy yourself.

Damn.

I've never read Grisham to be honest but I'm pretty sure it's the same sort of thing as the Da Vanci code and I'm pretty sure it sucks bad. Who here reads his books? Do the really smart people around here read him too?

good time passing reads. i also like scott turow. intelligence is not measured by the books you choose to read but how you internalize and utilize the information therein...

I didn't say it was, although to be honest I am suspicious of people who read Grisham.

Atlas Shrugged I liked a lot, Hemmingway I will have to give a try, Dostoyevsky I really like (particularly The Idiot), and Faulkner I tried reading but after 5 pages the language he used was too complicated for me and I put it down.

I need easy reads and his books are easy reads. I've read em all, they're entertaining.

Read Safran Foer's book if you haven't already. His first one, I haven't read his new one.

Wrong. Someone saying Hemingway is overrated does not understand a lot about writing.

Don't be a lit snob just for snobbery's sake.

As others have said, he is fun beach reading stuff.

In other words, not very good.
