Start with the short stories, or novellas first - to get a "feel" for the language and the characters. "The Bear" is a favorite of mine.
Sound & Fury is a challenge - with the disjointed narrative, stream of consciousness, and lack of identification of just who is thinking/speaking. It's a book that begs to be re-read once you've made it through the first time. Many stories are narrated by children, and the point-of-view can be disconcerting. Faulkner can grow on you.
