Can't find a book of that title. It's the last song on this album: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...0148907&sr=8-2

I hope to not lay dying. I hope for instant death so I have no time to think about anything.

It's a novel by William Faulkner.

I've never read it, I'm pretty sure I have a copy around here somewhere though.

I wouldn't know. I've never read any of them. And I can now name one of his works due to this thread.

I thought the poll was about your life. I thought it was asking if you were on your deathbed, would you look back and say you enjoyed life or didn't enjoy your life. Then I saw "haven't read it" and figured out that you were speaking of a book.
