Stoner! Great novel. I had never heard of John Williams before. Next I read Augustus. Also fantastic. I discovered both this year. I know this will be unpopular, but John Williams is such a good writer that when I started The Mandibles right after the two Williams novels, her writing just paled in comparison. I obviously enjoyed the story, as any bitcoiner would. I just wish it was a better written novel. I'm assuming most people on SN will disagree.
I'm also a big fan of Notes From Underground. In fact, I mentioned it in my music territory post today.
The only way to disagree is to not have read John Williams. I've read them both and you're 100% right.
I'm both surprised and heartened, though, because literally zero people in my normie life have ever heard of this book :)
