    Wow, that article is so disjointed and written in stream-of-consciousness "gonzo" style I think the guy might still be on Dilaudid.

      No kiddin'. 'The Sound and the Fury' was easier to follow. Strike that, nobody can follow Faulkner.

      I abhor the stream-of consciousness narrative because it's so lazy. Hire an editor, cut the rubbish, and appreciate your reader's time. I don't mind being trapped in a character's mind as long as it helps to tell the story, but it rarely does. Gosh, I hate Faulker. Joyce made this boring style more entertaining, but I'm still not a fan.

    That's just the hardly-tolerable Bill Simmons' self-indulgent Grantland for you.

      Holy Shit. Tompkins makes complete sense to me. Dig his style.

      Go figure.

      Betcha I could give him a run for his money, though.

      I mean, without being self-indulgent and all.

        I notice you do not commit to "without the dilaudid"

        From the article: Holy shit Dave. Cause a diversion! Grab the ball and run like hell!

        Oh, if only. Talk about a moment that would have gone down in Wolfpack and ACC history.

          ^ Dilaudid is for pussies.

          And redcanine is right about Faulkner.

            Who says we can't get "litter-rairy" in west Raleigh?

            I wasn't even aware some of us could read.

              I've always assumed reading and writing skills....it's "critical thinking" that is too often missing.
