Being a tenured professor is a very comforting and stable job, something which Stoner clearly sought - and now has - in his life. Yet, not everything is as he envisioned, but the sadness is not profoundly bleak - only a mild disappointment. He is content - just about.

This book makes me so frustrated with the audacity of its antagonists.

I think from the very beginning you know that this marriage will so be a very good one. But why does Stoner go for Edith? Was it the urgency of the passage of time - the poem?

John Williams just perfectly described the purpose of the University. It holds the same purpose as monasteries did back in the Medieval Period.

The first chapter of this book is a masterpiece. I've come to appreciate prose a lot more than I used to, and the language John Williams employs to describe the farm, and later the university, is undoubtedly simple but very effective.

I feel bad for Gracie, but her one moment of glee was finding out her husband died. Lucky her.

I was not expecting this to be about domestic abuse. It's so well portrayed and written but it's kind of hard to read.
