For those of you who have English teachers that use Faulkner's works, make sure that you let them know that Oprah's website (you must register to become a "member") has a variety of resources on three of Faulkner's books this summer: * As I Lay Dying * The Sound and the Fury * Light in August There are links to Faulkner (as the author), an interactive question session with professors, reading questions (great to use if you have a book club on your campus that reads the classics), and a character analysis of each person with the book. Although I know that Oprah has done these "classics" for a while, I am excited to see Faulkner's works (probably since I survived a semester of Faulkner studies during my undergraduate coursework--which grew to become a love of the works!), I think there are many resources that teachers might not realize could be used in the classroom! (Gee, Oprah, where were you when I was trying trudge through Yoknapatawpha County!) Have fun!
