“The rest-the vast majority, tens of thousands of days-are unremarkable, repetitive, even monotonous. We glide through them then instantly forget them.

We organize our long, shapeless lives into tidy little stories...But our lives are mostly made up of junk, of ordinary, forgettable days, and 'The End' is never the end.” ThinkingLooksLittlesLongMadeEndsStoriesBigsRememberForgetOur LivesOrdinaryMajorityOrganizeHandfulJunkMonotonousArithmeticTidyRepetitiveForgettable Book:Defending Jacob: A Novel Source: Defending Jacob: A Novel
