>And he knew that was it for him, that he'd hit rock bottom, a failure, a loser, a burnout. What had started out as an innocent way to relieve streas after school had become a horrible addiction. He went in the bathroom and examined his pale weary face in the mirror. "Stoner," he pronounced.

You know how I know you're underaged?

>tfw 18 and someone calls you underaged

It's supposed to be a compliment, isn't it? To be called younger than you are.

Thanks anon. You made my day.

Also the fact he admits his peers are 18-19 years old.

I mean, 18 is technically of age to be here, but in this society it's impossible to tell an 18 year old from a 15 year old except through external circumstances, i.e. their presence at a high school or a college. Their vocabularies and social habits are more or less identical.

Also

>reading in library at college

You know a library. Where people read books.

>>9283035
This is empirically false. Look at an essay you wrote when you were 18, and compare it to one you wrote when you were 15. If you cannot discern any structural, lexical, or rhetorical improvements, you should probably kill yourself and get off this board, in that order.

I was once in my philosopsher's professor's office and I said it reminded me of a scene from a book called "Stoner". He did not take it very well.

Nigga, shut the fuck up.

The ONLY reason why you're reading Stoner (and not any of the other recommended /lit/ books) is because of the title. The only reason anyone here reads this book is because of the title.

>hey anon, what are you reading?
>I'm reading a novel called A Doll's House
>you mean a play, don't you, anon? because i'm pretty sure henrik ibson didn't write novels. he wrote plays. or do you think everything that's published as a book can be called a novel? you fucking pseud moron. can you even appreciate the texture of his prose? do you get all your recommendations from the foot note of oscar wilde plays? no wonder nobody likes you.

you know that when someone starts out with "this is empirically false" their argument is going to (A) not include any sort of an attempt at empirical evidence and (B) entirely misunderstand the statement which they're trying to rebut

>>9283464
I decided to read it after the synopsis said it was about an "unremarkable" man, which isn't a typical description for an MC.

>hey anon what are you reading
>it's called Stoner by John Williams, strangely enough not about drugs
>interesting, let me know what you think of it
