Gone Girl | Gillian Flynn

so-so

I hated both of the main characters. I have no sympathy or like for either of them. I guess they both got what they truly deserved. 🤷‍♀️

Susanita By the end I only cared about the cat. 1w

Shannon_McKinney @Susanita exactly my sentiment as well. 1w

The River Wife: A Novel | Jonis Agee

so-so

In a wet, dangerous place, the ground shook and a family of darkness was born. Unlikely characters and bad choices abound.

Stoner | John Williams

My FICTION pick for July in my #2024ReadingBrackets was a no-brainer. “Stoner” has an excellent shot at going all the way. The book is just that good.

Stoner | John Williams

pick

A friend has been urging me for years to read this, and I finally did. My first thought was “what took me so long??” And then my second was, “I‘m so glad I read it now.” This is a book that will hit you differently depending on where you are in your life when you read it. For me in my 50s, it packed a punch. (Review continues) ⬇

Amiable It‘s the story of a man named William Stoner. Born at the end of the 19th-century into a poor Missouri farming family, he‘s sent to the state university to study agronomy. Instead, he falls in love with English literature and becomes a professor, which creates a permanent rift between him and his parents. Over the years, Stoner marries, has a child, experiences disappointments and frustrations and despair and all-too-brief moments of happiness. ⬇ 4mo

Amiable And that‘s pretty much the plot – 65 years of a man‘s life in less than 300 pages. Where the book shines is in Williams‘ prose and narration. Every single word is precisely chosen for maximum impact in a compressed space. He uses words simultaneously as the hammer and the nails to create an existential hero out of William Stoner. Stoner is uniquely Stoner, and yet Stoner is all of us. ⬇ 4mo

Amiable There is a line that conveys the bleakness of approaching middle-age: “He was 42 years old and he could see nothing before him he wished to enjoy and little behind him he cared to remember.” And then he lives for another nearly 25 years. And Williams carries you along the relentless flow of those years. This novel is perfection. And I don‘t use that term lightly.
