As I Lay Dying

One thing I am noticing as I read more of this novel is it is easier to read than The Sound and the Fury. While, some of my classmates may disagree due to the number of narrators of the novel, this book has been significantly easier to understand. I do particularly most enjoy reading from Vardaman's point of view. I do not know if it is because he is a child, and so his innocence shines through more so than other characters, or if it is simply because he is a child and is simple minded. As of right now, I do not like nor dislike the novel, nothing has really happened to make me want to keep reading, but at the same time nothing has made me want to stop reading. I will admit that it is boring at sometimes and the title could define how I feel when I am reading (only sometimes), but it has been interesting.
