There's a story I read some time ago that has been bugging me lately and I can't find it. It's a coming of age story about a boy who has trouble relating to others. He sets about researching and developing rules to live by, and I think that's what the title talks about. In his quest to figure out himself and the world, he comes up with a recipe for his own pizza sauce, works for a construction company to raise money, and finally opens a family friendly pizza restaurant.
I want to say it's been about 10 years since I read it, and it wasn't new then. The guy I would swear recommended it to me has no memory of it. I have no idea where I read it.
Does this ring a bell for anyone else?
