Stoner: A Novel by John Williams




Stoner was first published in 1965 but has recently gone a revival. It is currently residing in the times best seller list!

The book is about a college professor - Stoner.  Good things do happen in Stoner's life, but they all end badly.  It is depressing but in a way life can be.

Good Things
(1) I love how it reflects how life is ... good things happen, bad things happen, we die and for the most get forgotten!
(2) The description of him falling in love was beautiful.
(3) It is sad - not bleak just sad!

Bad Things:
Nothing - I loved it!  And was quite sad when it died.
