Stoner by John Williams was a favorite of our Library Book Groups.  Published in 1965, this quiet novel about a college professor's life has gathered a following over the years and has survived two attempts to render it out-of-print.  An article entitled "You Should Seriously Read Stoner Right Now." was recently published in The New York Times.  We agree.

The winners of the 2014 Edgar Awards were announced last night.   The winner for Best Novel is Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger.
