So, if you teach him to surf-cast

... he becomes the Mayor of Casterbridge?

An (old) book which includes:
- unexplainable behavior/drunkenness
- not being able to live-down one's past
- the future not turning-out quite as hoped
- banishment and self-banishment
- and a protagonist whose Last Will and Testament read:
"That Elizabeth-Jane Farfrae be not told of my death, or made to grieve
on account of me. that I be not bury'd in consecrated ground. that no
sexton be asked to toll the bell. that nobody is wished to see my dead
body. that no murners walk behind me at my funeral. that no flours be
planted on my grave, that no man remember me."

RiP - and this thread also!
