what a tragic waste of time to read a whole bookshelf of fucking art history on one person

reading art history and studying it for years is bad enough but to be essentially the brain-slave of some literally whos ghost, I feel sorry for you, you crusty boomer faggot

Are there any books that convey the detached dedication of Stoner? I got the strongest sense of it before he discovered literature, like when he was on the farm and when he was passionlessly studying agriculture, but throughout the rest of the book as well he kind of just tirelessly plods through his mediocre life. As a nervous fuck who freaks out about everything, it was kind of comforting to read about a character who just stoically pushes forward like that.

Is independent writing a lucrative career??
