an optimistic vision of the future

We need more books like this. I don’t remember which character it was – maybe Jack Reacher? – but the author said he created the character because he wanted to make a good guy who you know is always gonna win. We need more stories about winning and positivity without all the death and darkness, though there is a place for that.

Worse is having to re-read sentences over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over because they don’t stick and my mind wanders. I read a LOT of books, but it took years of patiently sticking with it to get to a point where I could live with the distraction and work through it.
