Andrew Price
It's an incredibly overrated book. But yeah, the title is bad too; or at least the title is bad nowadays. Not sure how long the word "stoner" has meant what it does now.
John Lewis
>can't bother even to read the title with her own eyes >assumes immediately after it is spoken that it is a word rather than a name
Sounds like you dodged a bullet on that occasion.
Also, "intellectualism" is another word for "priestly," stop using this
Carter Edwards
Priestliness, rather

That's why you always pretend it's only the shortened version of one of those really long old titles. >Stoner, or; The TRIALS AND times of an Engliſh tutor whose name is THE GIVEN TITLE.

It's a great book. Great. Not overrated at all. Seeing the few Veeky Forums regulars post the book cover a lot doesn't mean it's overrated. There's a world outside Veeky Forums memes and your computer, you know?
Jordan Hernandez
They didn't write it like that and it was used as an imperative.
Michael Hill
"Gay Science" would be funnier. Like some kind of queer studies.
Jace Walker
No. The beginning of Portrait captures what it's like as a child, the opener being a nursery rhyme. Read it user. Do not disregard Joyce.
Adrian Richardson
I'm aware of this. Not sure what I said made you believe that I think this book is overrated based solely on what I've seen on Veeky Forums.

Camden Reed
Put a bit of an accent on it, like "Stoner".
Leo Kelly
He's writing it from the perspective of a 7 year old because the book is a semi-autobiographical novel about his own youth. The book gradually matures as he ages in it.
This happens too often on Veeky Forums with people who just dive straight into Joyce without any clue.
Owen Hernandez
>middle aged man in old suit >clearly an oil painting >looks sad If someone thinks it's about weed once they see the cover, they're too dumb to breed.

Your loss if you do, user. That'd be foolish of you. Joyce is a treat if you appreciate prose.
