Light at the end of the tunnel...

Another forty pages down - I just might lick this sucker yet!  Only 100 pages left!  And at least this chapter is a little easier to read - the narrator is not an idiot, and Faulkner decided to use punctuation for a change, both on regular sentences and dialogue.  Gives me much less of a headache, but I think I'll still hit up Spark Notes when I'm through to really find out what the novel was all about.
