Novel: The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner

I, personally, do not read classic novels unless required in school, due to the fact that the words often used are difficult to understand, especially me, whom vocabulary is the weakest point, also, the setting is quiet traditional or historical so I cannot relate that much, I prefer contemporary and modern novels like All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven, which, as of the moment, is my favorite.
