One of the characters in Of Mice and Men — Lenny — loves to touch and pet soft things. However, he doesn’t realize his own strength and often accidentally kills the things he pets and loves. It’s… not great and leads to the climax of the book.

It’s a quick read. Steinbeck. Highly suggest checking it out if you haven’t read it yet.

I second this. One of the best classics out there for commitment to impact ratio.
