It makes him unusual, but maybe not so complex. Sometimes I had to wonder if there was anything BUT self-pity. His whole identity is being a leper.
And he can only be motivated if he decides that he isn't living in a meaningless dream.

Unless he's motivated through the want to get out of the dream that he thinks he's in... that's what I got from it, anyway.

Yeah. That's kind of a weird position. He didn't want to be in the 'dream' because it was so good. He thought that he wouldn't be able to deal with being a leper again. Its like being tortured by happiness.

I hope that doesn't mean it's happened to you...

Well... no, it doesn't. In fact, sometimes I wish I had that much of a fantasy life... but I'm stuck with reading or playing what others have created, and creating worlds of my own (my personal preference).

Witthout Remorse by Tom Clancy. Lots of swearing and violence.

Around the World in eighty days.
The classic, not the re-write.

Kinda. he dosen't get blown away(Unless you count him getting shot with a shotgun), he just starts killing drug dealers.

Vigilante violence isn't good... but that killing drug dealers... I liked that part.
'Mr. Clark' is one of my favorite Tom Clancy characters.

He IS pretty cool. Best Clancy novel, by far, is The Sum of All Fears (in my opinion).
