It is Faulkner's best work and one of the greatest works of literature from USA, and possibly the world.

How far into it are you? I think either Darl's early description of Jewel wrangling his horse or Addie's chapter is the best part of the book.

I don't really have any interest in them. I don't understand why people are so fanatical about their team. I haven't lived in my home city my entire life, most of the players aren't from here, and the team is probably owned by some billionaire from someplace else, so why should I have any loyalty to the "home team" ?

Plus, objectively speaking, most of the games are pretty boring.

Love watching hockey.
Love playing volleyball (beach over court)

My mom says I'm special.

I got to take a special bus to school that the other kids weren't allowed to ride on.

Of course. It is my intellect that makes me special.

Write about walking past homeless people.

lol what fucking retard made that pic?
>>
One day, I walked past a homeless person, then another one. As I passed them, it was clear to me that I was at that exact moment walking past homeless people, and after I had walked past them, I knew very clearly that I had in fact walked past them.
Knowing this, I continued my journey.

The Road is unconventional, but I didn't think it was great. It's also a movie.

Why isn't the verb "play" used with Archery?
Is there a grammatical reason for this?

It's not a sentence.

Literary fiction is sometimes so overrated and overhyped. It seems to me that some authors try to make their writing seem more profound than it actually is and some readers fall for it believing they've read something "important".
