Two Faulkner titles, Light in August and Sanctuary are both
pretty easy
reads. Sancutary was a page-turner in it's day, designed to

Light in August is more "literary" but still a good

What about John MacDonald's The Good Old Stuff and More Good
Old Stuff?
Two short story collections of his pulp material with a
fairly HB slant.
