Sunday Sentence: Stoner by John Williams

Sunday Sentence highlights the best sentence(s) I've read this past week, out of context and without commentary.

"Sometimes, immersed in his books, there would come to him the awareness of all that he did not know, of all that he had not read; and the serenity for which he labored was shattered as he realized the little time in life he had to read so much, to learn what he had to know."
