I love Frisch’s Homo Faber. Bob the Builder (can’t stop), whether for need
or out of boredom. Perhaps giving up on one dream or another, but never giving up

now he’ll have nothing to do with the first (yuck) and switches to the second.
He takes forever on the second and eats about half. Then he says,
“I’m full”
