Book Description:
Daniel resides in his Santa Monica apartment, living much of his life as a bystander: He watches from his window as the world goes by, and his only relationships seem to be with people who barely know he exists. He passes the time idly filling out contest applications, counting ceiling tiles, and estimating the wattage of light bulbs. It is through Daniel's growing attachment to Clarissa, and to her son Teddy, that he finally gains the courage to begin to engage the world outside, and in doing so, he discovers love, and life, in the most surprising places. Filled with his trademark humor, tenderness, and out and out hilarious wordplay, THE PLEASURE OF MY COMPANY is a tour de force sure to delight all of Steve Martin's fans.

This is a very different story told in the first person about Daniel Pecan Cambridge and you really have to listen to it to understand what it's about. It's well narrated by Martin.
