If there's anyone who crafts more hilarious, endearing characters and situations than Curtis, I can't imagine who it could be. Luther T. Farrell aims to be one of the great philosophers someday but in the meantime, he's pretty busy, working at the Happy Neighbor Group Home for Men, going to school, and trying to avoid the wrath of his mother, the Sarge. A fascinating novel with some pretty complex themes and a most interesting anti-hero.
