But despite the title, I wasn't aware that any of these were famous, nor had I heard of any of them. <br/><br/>Maybe try <em>As I Lay Dying</em> or <em>Absalom, Absalom!</em>, which are also sort of irritating, except also really really good. Ditto, probably for Light in August or The Sound and the Fury, though I lack personal experiences to back that up.]]></body>
