Carpet Diem: Or...How to Save the World by Accident

Written by Justin Lee Anderson

Narrated by Matthew Lloyd Davies

Fifteen years after losing most of his family to a devastating, pudding-related tragedy, Simon Debovar has settled into a life of self-imposed exile from the stinking, selfish morass of humanity. Content that his daily highlights will include hazelnut coffee, a long bath, and the occasional jar of olives, his life is completely upturned by the discovery that his ornate living room carpet is the deciding factor in a bet between God and Satan.

When mysteriously well-timed carpet thieves deprive him of the crucial heirloom, Simon is forced to leave his hermit's existence behind for a world of angels, demons, witches, and immortals.

And then it gets complicated.

Reviews for Carpet Diem

[boundtogetherforgood · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

What a fun book! The reader, Matthew Lloyd Davies, has a great reading voice. All of the voices he used were so good, except for his depiction of an American Cajun voice, and that was so bad, it was funny.The story is very funny. Just hang up you Biblical views before starting, though, as he has created his own cast of Heavenly roles and rules for the sake of his story.The writing is very funny.
