Q: Tell me about your favorite book
A: For the recent year, my favorite book is “Stoner”. It’s the name of a guy and the book introduced a man named “Stoner” and from childhood to his death, the whole life of him. He has some huge changes in his life time. The comment said “The first sight is story. The second sight, the book is so classic. The third life, the book is life. The fourth sight, is yourself.” He’s a professor in college. He has a very traditional life. His wife has no job and takes over all the works of his home. She has a bad temper, so Stoner just cheated his wife and have another relationship with his student.
