 You know what? You did well because "Smoke" by Faulkner is a really great story. And I’m not that bad either.

 If I had to recommend a good book for the summer and the upcoming vacations to anyone asking for my opinion, one that combines excellent literature with intrinsic narrative depth and an emotional search for the hidden meanings of existence, I would have little doubt and I would confidently go with "As I Lay Dying" by William Faulkner (1932).
