Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! We all want to know what's the best book to start with for William Faulkner? I remember asking Google what's the best William Faulkner book. But I saw a ton of answers and maybe there is no singular answer for everyone. Sometimes you want that personal touch such as if I knew you were super into crime noir, then perhaps "Sanctuary" is the best starting point. If Comedies are your favorite genre then I'd recommend "The Reivers." However, as a blanket statement, and for someone who wants to know what's the best books to get the taste of what Faulkner can do, then I'd recommend starting with this list here today. For reference, I've worked through most of Faulkner's books but not all: The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Absalom, Absalom!, The Snopes Trilogy (The Town, The Hamlet, the Mansion), Light in August, Sanctuary, Go Down Moses, The Reivers, The Collected Short Stories, and the Uncollected Short Stories. They all have something to offer and all can be starting points for various people. Today we just want to look at a generic best starting point for getting that initial flavor of what is William Faulkner all about?
