Do you have any Faulkner recommendations?

My favorite of his is As I Lay Dying. I find it much more readable than The Sound and the Fury. The latter is his most famous, and McCarthy's favorite work by Faulkner. But Faulkner himself said As I Lay Dying was his magnum opus.

Yes, exactly what huthuthike said. As I Lay Dying. Sound & Fury is great but a much more challenging read.
