Finally Making Progress

I've gotten about a third of the way through The Sound and the Fury, and I really don't like it any more than I did the first time I read it.  Faulkner is - what's the word - taxing.  I understand it better than before, but I just don't like his style of writing.  He may have picked on Hemingway's style of writing, but I'd take it over Faulkner any day.  Luckily, this is the last time I will be reading this (or anything by him, most likely).  Anyone out there who can give me one good reason why I should read Faulkner any more?  I am willing to listen to any and all arguments in his favor, but they may ultimately fall on deaf ears.
