Operating Room book club

Due to my being wide awake throughout my minor medical procedure, I got to hear my doctor's entire enthusiastic description of the book he's reading, Neil Strauss's The Game, about a nebbish who becomes a chick magnet by learning subtle and sexist forms of manipulation. Doc S. gave it two thumbs up, or he would have if he hadn't been poking a giant needle in my lumbar vertebrae.

From my face-down, butt-up position, I interrupted the chatter. "So which part did you identify most with," I asked, "when the author was a nebbish, or when he became a sex god?"

"Definitely the nebbish part," the doc forthrightly replied.
