I found curious that if you order the books by reading difficulty (easier to harder) The sound and the fury is on the second place.

We use the Flesch-Kincaid algorithm to calculate reading ease. For most books it works pretty well, but for avant-garde prose like
The Sound and the Fury
it fails pretty badly. It also considers
Ulysses
to be "fairly easy"!
