The book we will be reading for September club is: Stoner — John Williams ~280 pages This novel has been quietly passed between readers for decades like a secret worth keeping. William Stoner is a Missouri farm boy who stumbles into a love of literature, becomes an English professor, and lives what looks, from the outside, like an unremarkable life. A modest career. A failed marriage. Small disappointments. Ordinary days. John Williams argues that this life mattered enormously. So does everyone who has ever read this book. It's about work, love, marriage, failure, and what it means to find the one thing that makes you feel completely alive — and what happens when the world doesn't particularly care. Fair warning: it might get under your skin. Come ready to talk. Wine will help.
