I love Faulkner. Try reading "As I Lay Dying." It's hysterical. With his books, I think you have to be aware that most of his characters are potential Darwin Award candidates, and he's recounting their idiocies with straight faced, dry humour.

As for best sellers, I figure if the majority of the people like them, they're probably really cr*p so I rarely look at them. Someone recently gave me "Beach Music" and "Prince of Tides." Some of the worst writing I've ever encountered. Another more recent best seller I wasn't able to get through was "Devine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood," which could be more aptly titled "Yada Yada Yada." I'm currently reading P.G. Wodehouse. It's highly entertaining, good, clean fun, and some of it's available through the Gutenburg project.
