I promise not to report you to the NAACP. ;) Anyway, I don't yet know what we're required to read from that class aside from Steinbeck and Dickinson and Twain. I like Twain well enough and I love Emily Dickinson, and I suppose I may as well give Steinbeck a chance. It's the Faulkner I'm not looking forward to. We read The Sound and the Fury for AP English senior year. Oh. My. Goodness. I liked the characters; I wanted to know what happened to the characters; I had no idea what was going on period. Stream-of-consciousness is all well and good, but . . . that hurt my brain.
