Have you heard about this book that is shooting into the best sellers list...

Am I thick, stupid or going mad? Will someone say what the title of this book is please?

Easy to miss the link in the OP, if the blue oesn't show up well. It's Stoner, by John L Willams, Specki

What is the name of the book you are discussing?

thanks when I did detect this but there were 3 books in the list, none of which at the kindle price quoted, so I thought I must be on the wrong tack.

SuperNana10 if you click on "everyone's summer reading" in the original post, that will take you straight through to the book.

The link is blue but you would hardly know it. It doesn't show up enough.

It still comes up with the Kindle version (first in the list) at £2.99 specki.

I have just finished reading Stoner. It is indeed a remarkable book, and the prose is immaculate. To start with I found it so bleak that I almost put it down; but I persevered and am glad that I did. The bleakness of this man's life hides a sort of celebration of ordinary people leading fairly ordinary lives. It it heartening in its own way, pinpointing the importance and value of each of us as we plough our way through life with its and our imperfections. I found it profoundly moving at the end.

So glad I put it on here Mishap. Good that you enjoyed it.

I also found Stoner moving.It was a very well rounded book-most satisfying.

Love this book so thanks J08. Very moving and beautifully written.

Hi I am new to this forum so hellow to everyone,
have any of you read tom cantys first book, clapham lights I couldn't put it down, it was so easy to read, and such a laugh. I emailed him to thank him and told him I would let others know about it , I got a nice reply from him.

I'm a third of the way through Stoner having seen it mentioned somewhere else.

Yes, it's beautifully written, well worth reading.

Haven't heard of Tom Canty, bootie, but will have a look. Oh, and welcome!

I really enjoyed this book - a life and death thoroughly and interestingly explained. As someone once said to me - "you can't beat a good owd'un"
