I’m 37 and I just finished John William’s Stoner…

And the story of William Stoner’s life has absolutely devastated me. They say this book will hit you differently depending on where you’re at in life and man oh man did it mess up my middle aged self. Stoner will stay with me the rest of my life, easily in my top 3 books all time and may be 1. Art like this makes me so grateful to be alive.
