"I had abandoned this at one point but was able to come back and finish it. It is somewhat boring and rambling, with a character that is a sad-sack couch potato, and I skimmed parts. He lacks volition to the point that he wastes his life away. It was interesting when he briefly manages to meet a woman, but he cannot get it together enough to marry her. I think it would have been better as a short story."
