Let's get a discussion going on this book. I know a lot of you have read it.

Spoilers. Obviously spoilers. If you don't want to know about this book, don't read further, simple as.

I started it yesterday and finished it today. And what an incredible journey it's been. Every part of me wants to feel like I'm not going to become like Stoner. I want to have a wife and love her, I want to have a child and love it, and I want to have a job and love it, but I know I'll never do any of those things well enough. I know it all means nothing, and that even in death, the only thing that I'll ever have achieved is what I gave not to others, but to myself.
