He passes the time idly filling out contest applications, counting ceiling tiles, and estimating the wattage of light bulbs.</br></br> It is through Daniel's growing attachment to Clarissa, and to 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.</br></br> Filled with his trademark humor, tenderness, and out and out hilarious wordplay, <i>The Pleasure of My Company</i> is a tour de force sure to delight all of Steve Martin's fans.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Steve Martin<br><b>Publisher:</b> Hachette Books<br><b>Published:</b> 10/06/2004<br><b>Pages:</b> 163<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.42lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h x 5.58w x 0.46d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780786888016<br><b>Age Range:</b> 18-UP<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Entertainment Weekly</i> 11/26/2010 pg. 74<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Steve Martin</b> is a celebrated writer, actor, and performer.
