Stoner by John Williams

Stoner is a masterpiece by John Williams, a breath-taking journey which will shatter many hearts yet reassure the ones stricken with misfortune and pain with its beautiful melody, transfigured into eternal music of life by smooth and compassionate writing. This book is a sure reminder of how much the world can take away from us, yet it also surprises the gentle reader by exposing how much the world still has to offer despite the broken pieces of life sprawling in endless waves of debris; the music still weaves its magic across the boundaries of pain and turmoil. https://bit.ly/2YTnptE

Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov

Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov is a brilliant novel which showcases Nabokov’s calculative prowess in terms of composing novels of dramatic intensity and invention while retaining the traditional powers of recurring motifs of classical literature. It is a testimony to brilliant literature and also, in my view, a love letter to the genres we have come to love over the years and the writers we have devoured for generations and would do so for further generations to come. https://bit.ly/2Ks9mly
