Great novel, by any standard, but for people with no experience of Faulkner, probably not the first of his you should read. Likewise The Sound and the Fury. I recommend starting with Sartoris, the first of his Mississippi novels, or maybe The Unvanquished. And of his highest-level masterpieces, Light in August. The Snopes Trilogy (The Hamlet, The Town, The Mansion) also rank high, and maybe would be well read before either S&T or A,A.
But I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm a big fan of Faulkner.
A cautionary note: If you're expecting dragons or zombies or sparkly vampires, best look for other authors.
