Unironically a top tier book taught in schools, I believe I had it in 7th or 8th grade

This, The Outsiders, The Glass Castle, The Color of Water and Gatsby are definitely my favorites from High school and such.

I remember wanting to cry in the middle of class when we read this. It expresses the anxiety of all shitty nerds who pride themselves on looking smart, just to become an adult and realize teachers won't praise them for their homework anymore.

every time somebody talks about this book I think they are talking about a novel with the same name where some french woman goes to work to Japan and gets basically femdom by her boss.

lol best part is the fag faked the whole thing none of it happened he was just a loser incel that accused his village he grew up in of all being cannibal pedo murderers because he was just an asshole everyone was totally innocent and he just wrote fanfiction of random people he knew being monsters and ruined everyone's lives that were depicted in the book, faggot irishman singlehandedly invented cancel culture

I cried during Stoner when his wife played his child against him. It made me really feel for my Dad, who went through something similar with my mother.

I read it in that order too anon, although in retrospect I wish I started with F&T first. It encapsulates his thinking pretty succinctly, and opens up his comparisons between Morality and Aesthetics in a more apparent manner. God bless Kierkegaard.

I had a really obese, fat ass English teacher that - I swear to God - would say 'Tequila Mockingbird'. I still laugh about it to this day.
