Last night I finished the novel Stoner by John Williams. I was pretty floored by it.

Very true to life. Great writing. At times the stuff that happened to the protagonist was so painful that I had to take a break from the book.

Has anyone else read this?

You mean that his female characters don't have the same depth as his male characters?

Nice! I'm going to read Kafka on the Shore next. I'll let you know how it goes.

I finished Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami, which I really enjoyed. The first Murakami novel I have been able to get through (I've tried a couple, but it was years ago). Has anyone else read Norwegian Wood? Or any Murakami? Got an opinion on what I should read next?

controversial but I'm going to say it's a trash candy bar

The only good candy bars are:
Snickers
Twix.
Whatchamacallit.
Hersey bar with Almonds
Any of the Reese's Cups family - Take 5 for example

Most/all other candy bars are trash.

Kit Kat = trash
Nestle's Crunch = trash
Mounds/Almond Joy = trash
Three Musketeers = trash
Milky Way = trash

Debate me

GM: Yes. Yes, you get it back. It's been four days. The combat is over. We're in a new scene.
PLAYER: I'd like to search the boat.
GM: You're not on the boat anymore.
PLAYER: We're not on the boat??
GM: Are you paying attention?
PLAYER: Wait. I actually lost 14 HP. Do I get all of that back?

GM: Having slain the last pirate, you are victorious. You take control of their boat and over the course of four days travel to the port of Kreeg where you meet your contact, Valmar, at a grimy tavern. He asks you if you've found the location--
PLAYER: I've lost 10 HP. Do I get that back now?
