Optimism is . . .

[Optimism is ... ] to order
– by the way: not via Amazon but in the nearest bookshop –
Thomas Pynchon's "Against the Day",
both in English and German ("Gegen den Tag"),
although I do not know
whenever I shall find time to read those 2,815 pages.
[The first pages are promising, though].

    1. I am looking forward to the day(s) I shall have as much leisure for reading as Pugnax has. :)

      And what does this teach us? It's good not to judge dogs by their names.
