recommended for: Dalia,Georgia, Or anyone who just needs to start something to finish it
I happen to think Steve Martin is a genius. Or to put it into terms Sarah and Dalia would understand, "I'd knock him up". In this book, he writes about some sort of obsessive-compulsive savant, and to write about brilliance, you've got to have some in you. I always read Martin's little novellas when i'm being non-committal on the bookshelf and get in those modes when i can't finish a single book. His books are short, smart and funny. One more comment is that I feel like Steve Martin is notably over-sexualized for an older man, much like Roald Dahl. On the other hand, it could be merely an unconventional reminder than men over 60 are human too. even if they still think like 13 year olds....
