Hello,
I am re-reading Ragtime by EL Doctorow. It is just incredible how he scored the plot like music to me. I found my copy in my basement box of classics and popped it out as he just died recently.
I'm also committed on Absalom, Absalom. I've had the darn copy for years and Faulkner's prose is so freakin' dense it puts me to sleep after 2-4 pages. I am pushing through with the help of some online chapter summaries as I keep getting lost in his endless sentences! So I'll be in Yoknapatawpha County for awhile yet.
Last week I read Hemingway's To Have and Have Not. Not his best. It was a break from Faulkner prose for sure!
