I am feeling especially futile right now.

The narrative of the New York Giants appeals to me. They started the season 0-2. They were the wildcard team. They were expected to lose by 12 points to the seemingly unstoppable, undefeated Patriots. Talk about David slaying Goliath.

(Tangent: Rule number one of fantasy novels: never read the prologues. They are all completely pointless. Even the one for_The Lord of the Rings_. I know too many people who failed to even start LotR because they couldn't get through the Prologue. But this parenthetical aside as just as pointless.)
