The Verificationist, Donald Antrim

After eating pancakes, our great mission in life becomes the repudiation of pancakes and everything served along with them. We promise ourselves that we will know better, next time, than to order pancakes in any size or in any amount. However, we fail to learn; and the days go by, two or three weeks pass, then a month, and we forget about pancakes and their dominion over us. Eventually, we need them. We crawl back to pancakes again and again.

I&rsquo;ve never seen a more accurate book review in the form of a painting: The Portrait, Rene Magritte.
