I read about half of "American Nerd" and didn't find it very well done. I found it shallow and the author's putative credentials doubtful since he doesn't seem to express ENTHUSIASM for any nerdly pursuits, which is a very important factor.
I've done roleplaying gaming a couple of times a week since D&D came out (gad!) both as player and as gamemaster, and find it good fun. I consider the measure of a good game in how much we all laugh, although there have been many moments of high drama as well. At its best it is a form of collaborative storytelling/improvisational theatre..
