It's better than the memes suggest. And they suggest it's one of the best books ever written so...

anyone who likes this book is certified normie

>>8601005
what book would you recommend for the second time?

>>8601203
He's a tool from /r9k/ parroting their buzzwords. Stoner is a good piece of literature.

>>8601211
my question still stands

this was my first book to read in a couple of years, I liked it a lot, what should i read next?

>>8601203
>>8601221
Butcher's Crossing
Crime and Punishment
Mrs. Dalloway
Winesburg, Ohio

>>8601211
i've read it, and its goal is fantastic, it just had no real effect on me though i did tear up last couple pages

>>8601005
no idea

>>8601221
This guy suggested good stuff >>8601228

Start with Butcher's Crossing, I'd say, and add Augustus on that list, too, since they are also written by John Williams. You're more likely to like those two, since you like Stoner.

Anyone want to suggest what to read after Stoner? I really enjoyed the book. I had the sense before I read it that it was depressing, but that's not really accurate. It's a broad portrait of a life. On his deathbed, Stoner has regrets, but he isn't ultimately dissatisfied. So anyway, suggestions maybe for books about how life ought to be lived, a search for meaning, an endurance through hardships?

please be bait, you can't be this fucking stupid

Don fucking Quixote. Parts 1 and 2.

>>8600738
Not this. I honestly fucking loved IJ, one of my all-time favorites. But DFW is no genius, so it doesn't touch it's own meme status, which is just irony.

>>8601559
i'll assume you are sincere
>hasn't read the novel
>bases his opinion on a single thread he saw on fucking 4chan

>>8601582
ok, my bad. well memed, sir.

>>8601605
How is this a meme? Also, the only book that is better in (English) translation than in the original.
