Novels don't mention that, at bedtime or waking, people brush their teeth, men shave, men shower and women bathe, and women attend to their hair and make-up.
And yet, people vary quite a lot, in these matters.
And it shows.
Frequency of shaving, bathing, and showering vary, for example.
As do the efforts put into make-up and hair-dressing.
But these things matter.
Not quite a series of novels, perhaps, but I do worry about Jack Reacher's underpants which hardly ever receive a mention despite the fact that he proudly possesses only one pair!
