Rendition As Books The Pleasure of My Company

Daniel Pecan Cambridge, 30, 35, 38, or 27, depending on how he feels that day, is a young man whose life is rich and full, provided he never leaves his Santa Monica apartment. After all, outside there are 8-inch-high curbs and there's always the horrible chance he might see a gas station attendant wearing a blue hat. So, except for the occasional trip to the Rite Aid to admire the California girl Zandy and to buy earplugs because they're on sale, he stays home a lot. And a good thing too, or he would have never been falsely implicated in a murder, never almost seduced Philipa, never done the impossible task of jogging around the block with Brian, never ironed his pillows, and he might never have won the Most Average American essay contest. The Pleasure of My Company is the chronicle of a modern-day neurotic yearning to break free.

Judgment Appertaining To Books The Pleasure of My Company

Daniel Pecan Cambridge lives in a prison of disorder. His life in Santa Monica is a highly structured life in which he must find a way to the Rite Aid that doesn't involve stepping off a curb. He is mentally unable to hold a job like the one he once had at Hewlett Packard. He is unable to use public transportation unless he can draw lines between passengers based upon the plaids and stripes they are wearing. He prioritizes his mail into three piles, savoring letters from his grandmother in Texas

I have read many of Steve Martin's novellas, as well as his previous novel, Shopgirl, and enjoyed them. However, I think The Pleasure of My Company has to be my favourite. The pace, the characters, the humour and the quirks of the main character drew me in. It is a short enough book that it can easily be read in one sitting. But I found that I wanted to keep coming back to it, to once again see life through Daniel's eyes. I am not keen on analysing books for the deeper meanings of life; I like



The main character was annoying as hell. I didn't care about his journey. I wanted him to just go away.

WOW. I can't even tell you how much I loved this book and how brilliant Martin is. You really have to have an impressive ability to observe and verbalize the human nature and all of its idiosyncrasies to be a funny comedian (he is), and he's taken that ability and converted it into a really insightful, hilarious, touching, and brilliant novel. Written from the perspective of an admittedly insane man, Martin manages to make his oddities understandable, even likeable. What a fascinating peek into

So...having a whole separate world going on inside your own head is a real thing? Whew, good to know I'm not alone. What an awesome little book this was.

"It's a fabulous night and us folks ought to pop out and look at various stars."That line had me laughing out loud in my car. This audiobook was very enjoyable. I knew I would enjoy Steve Martin's humor but I wasn't totally sure if I would enjoy is story-telling. It turns out he knows what he's going.You'll notice that quote above doesn't include any "e"s. The character vows not to use the letter "e" in order to distract himself from his long list of neuroses. It's very easy to say that his guy
