Being There by Jerzy Kosinski. The book was, imo, a snoozer, but the film was one of the most hilarious I've ever seen and gave Peter Sellers the role he was born to play.
Loved of mice and men. Check out
Being There

>Being There is one of the most popular and significant works from a writer of international stature. It is the story of Chauncey Gardiner - Chance, an enigmatic but distinguished man who emerges from nowhere to become an heir to the throne of a Wall Street tycoon, a presidential policy adviser, and a media icon. Truly "a man without qualities," Chance's straightforward responses to popular concerns are heralded as visionary. But though everyone is quoting him, no one is sure what he's really saying. And filling in the blanks in his background proves impossible. Being There is a brilliantly satiric look at the unreality of American media culture that is, if anything, more trenchant now than ever.
Edit: might be too short.
Ha, me IRL...
This sub reminds me of the novel Being There, where a guy inherits a ton of money for no raisin and just hangs out.
