I would be Robert Langdon from the series of seven books. The Da Vinci Code was the first. He was a great protagonist and problem-solver, and he went all over the world and saw some cool sights. The books were awesome, and all the story lines were great. The character was well thought out and interesting. It wasn’t one of the smartest guys in the room who solved the problems quickly. It was a great development for logic, problem-solving, and on-the-fly adjustment in the face of errors or complications. Just a great, compelling character and story.

About Kevin, I spent 40 years in FinTech before retiring to
Rio de Janeiro to trade software releases for a front-row seat
to the beautiful absurdity of life in Brazil. This blog is my digital
porch, a place for unpolished commentary on book reviews,
daily gripes, and the random thoughts of a guy who finally has
the time to pay attention. I’m an observant realist with a deep
appreciation for history, a good quote, and the perspective that
only comes after the career ends. I write to stay sharp, to stay
honest, and to keep the conversation going.
