| Feb 9, 2014 at 1:08 | comment | added | user39720 | As far as literary references go, this sounds like Mr Toad from Kenneth Grahame's Wind in the Willows, about whom it is said "'It's all the same, whatever he takes up; he gets tired of it, and starts on something fresh.'" In the span of a few chapters you see his intense passions change from boats to wagons to cars. But a reference to Mr Toad may be taken to mean one of his many other character flaws, not just his whimsical faddishness. | |
