Jeanie Condo reviews THE PLEASURE OF MY COMPANY by Steve Martin (Hyperion, 2003):

Daniel Cambridge can tell you what day of the week April the third fell on five years ago or five years from now. Unfortunately, he suffers from a few debilitating symptoms. He cannot step from the curb to the pavement and has to cross the street at scooped out driveways facing each other. He must have exactly 1125 watts lit in his apartment at bed time. Ironically, he enters and wins the Tepperton’s Apple Pie Most Average American contest. The story is about the life of this appealing, quirky guy.
