Just heard about this book from a discussion with the author on GQ's podcast has anyone checked it (http://search.barnesandnoble.com/American-Nerd/Benjamin-Nugent/e/9780743288019/?itm=1)out? It seems like it'd be up the TRS alley.

Wow, this sounds really intriguing. One thing that might be of particular interest to the guys is this quote from the Publishers Weekly starred review:
Another unexpected detour, this one into the intense subculture of high school and college debaters, turns into an extraordinarily poignant meditation on the friendships engendered by shared passions.
Thanks for pointing this out, and I already added it to my Amazon wishlist.
